Zechariah: The Lord Returns (Reading the Bible Today)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Zechariah is a powerful Old Testament text that displays some of the most remarkable prophecies about Jesus. Michael R Stead brings the message of this seventh century prophet to life in his expert but easy-to-understand style. Zechariah is a word of encouragement to us, to keep clinging tightly to the word of God in the midst of difficult and disheartening circumstances. Readers will find that this commentary is written in such a way as to show Zechariah’s message is even more vibrant and effective today than it was for its original audience.
