Redemption!
From Jerusalem, Israel comes a new translation and commentary to the book of Zechariah, rendered from the Masoretic text. The two Israeli authors previously authored "James the Just" as well as a soon-to-be-published translation of the book of Exodus.
David Friedman is the former Academic Dean and Professor of Jewish Studies at King of Kings College (Israel). B.D. Friedman is a lecturer on Biblical topics, as well as a highly regarded tour guide, specializing in tours of biblical sites.
The authors unfold the poetry and vocabulary of the Hebrew text by translating and commenting upon individual verses from each chapter. They emphasize that their book is written to spur the student on to the lifelong study of this amazing biblical book. Their use of over a dozen rabbinic commentators helps to connect the student to historical interpretation of this book over the centuries.
The book is paperback, 85 pages long and contains helpful summaries or conclusions at the end of most of the chapters.
The student will find that "Redemption" is most helpful with a side by side reading and study of the actual book of Zechariah.
