In this revised Ph.D. dissertation Lee examines the restoration expectations of Second Zechariah. She employs a synchronic intertextual approach to demonstrate how chapters 9 and 10 of Zechariah use earlier material to express this expectation. The book has all the characteristics of a dissertation: careful and extensive analysis of pertinent and related biblical material; support from current scholarship in the field; a clearly argued defense of conclusions; a final synthesis of all the findings achieved through this intertextual analysis. The author ends her work by showing how her findings throw light on other sections of the Old Testament and how they relate with other restoration themes. Though the book will find a small, well-defined audience, those readers will appreciate both the methodical approach and the final insights. Bible Today This is a serious work of close reading of the Hebrew text of later prophets which fills a gap in scholarship. Theological Book Review
