In this installment of the Everyman's Bible Commentary series, G. Coleman Luck explores the prophecies of Zechariah, given at the time of rebuilding the Temple in 520-13 B.C. The book is divided into three segments: Zechariah's prophetic visions (1:1-6:15), a question and God's answer regarding the observation of fasts (7:1-8:23), and the coming Messiah (9:1-14:21).

This book is at once a good introduction for the novice and very thorough. The third segment especially goes verse by verse. Coleman does a nice job incorporating other commentaries, and the notes are excellent for anyone wishing further study. He also occasionally mentions alternate interpretations (and cites them) while making the case for the ones he believes to be true. Recommended for personal study of biblical prophecy. ( )
