Review Quotes: Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the significance of Zephaniah should read this commentary. DeRouchie skillfully draws out the richness and beauty of Zephaniah's message through careful analysis of the text, at both the sentence and discourse levels. His analysis explains the relevance of the prophecy within the original context while also highlighting its connections to the rest of scripture. Most notably, he shows the reader how Zephaniah points to the beauty of Christ and the fullness of the gospel revealed in the New Testament.--
