Zechariah 9-14 and Malachi

The last few chapters of the Old Testament are arguably the most difficult texts for the interpreter of the Old Testament. In this commentary, David Petersen takes on the task of examining this prophetic literature of the Second Temple period as he explicates Zechariah 9-11, Zechariah 12-14, and Malachi. Treating these chapters as three separate collections, Petersen gives an extensive overview of these books. This commentary will be invaluable for anyone who wishes to learn more about these final chapters of the Old Testament that address how Israel's God related to the world of the Persian Empire and present God's responses to the community of faith.
