Reviews

[Leslie Gunter]

“What do you think you will like about heaven if you do not love holiness now?”

[Andrzej Stelmasiak]

Now... That was a bore. Not stimulating at all, it felt like reading systematic theologian commenting on the text trying to equip people for 19th century theological battles.
TV Moore and Leopold were his main conversation partners, sometimes McComiskey.
So - theologically correct, but that's all I can say about it when it comes to positives.

Keith Mathison had it as his top commentary on Zechariah in 2008 ( at Ligonier's top 5 commentary recommendations), now after updating it, it's not even mentioned in the 'runners-up' section... Maybe he eventually read it ;D

[Kevin Burrell]

Through our sermon series on Zechariah, this has tended to be my most reliable homiletical commentary. Phillips divides the book into 27 sections with good sermon-length exposition and application of each. He tends to keep to the central points, especially in his presentation of Christ as the fulfillment of Zechariah's king-and-priest imagery. Solid tie-ins to New Testament themes.

[Alastair Gooderham]

Phillips has produced a helpful commentary on this difficult Old Testament Prophet. Faithful to the text, detailed without being pedantic, and Christ centred in its approach and application.

[Will Turner]

Another solid commentary from Phillips. I actually believe this one is better than his Thessalonians commentary. It was helpful to read through as our church worked through Zechariah.

[Rebecca]

Fantastic commentary. Some chapters I felt could have been better explained, but overall a very good explanation of Zechariah, while also ensuring it pointed forward to Jesus.
