"Boda's commentary is commendable in every way. It is well informed
(this is an understatement), consistently converses with other
views, and is clear. He treats the minutiae thoroughly, without
losing sight of the bigger picture of sections or of the book.
Moreover, he is sensitive to the historical, redemptive-historical,
and canonical contexts of the book. . . . For anyone looking to
teach, preach, or write on the Book of Zechariah, Boda's commentary
should be referenced often." Tremper Longman III
-- Westmont College
"The book of Zechariah fascinates us and informs us about the
postexilic Judean community's relationship with God. Mark Boda, a
master of this time period and this genre, opens up the book to
readers today. His commentary is clear and profound, informative
and illuminating. Everyone who studies Zechariah must read Boda's
work, which makes an important contribution to scholarship and to
the church." Gordon McConville
-- University of Gloucestershire
"A most welcome addition to the excellent NICOT series. Boda is an
established expert on this difficult and wonderful book, and here
he brings his huge learning to bear on it in such a way as to
unfold its many dimensions. His commentary is always accessible and
is governed by a deep concern to interpret theologically and
pastorally. . . . A model for interpreting the Prophets and,
indeed, the whole Old Testament." H. G. M. Williamson
-- University of Oxford
"In this substantial commentary Boda brings to a climax his many
years of detailed study of Zechariah, deploying his considerable
scholarly strengths in a comprehensive yet clear manner. . . . This
volume will serve for many years as a standard resource for
scholars and laypeople alike." David L. Petersen
-- Candler School of Theology
"A major and comprehensive commentary on Zechariah. It is replete
with a fresh translation, detailed philological and text-critical
notes, and commentary using a variety of critical perspectives,
with particular attention to intertextual issues. . . . Anyone
interested in the book of Zechariah will need to consult this
volume." Iain Provan
-- Regent College
"This fine exposition of Zechariah represents a most welcome
addition to commentary on this book. Mark Boda has a great eye both
for the detail of the text and for its intertextuality."
