ZECHARIAH

876.    BLAYNEY (BENJAMIN, D.D.) Zechariah. A New Translation, with Notes. 4to. Oxf, 1797. 3/6.

This learned author writes after the manner of Lowth, but has neither Lowth's taste nor poetic vein. His notes will not suggest sermons, but will be philologically useful if cautiously read.

877.    HENGSTENBERG (E. W.) In his "Christology" (for which See No. 67) Hengstenberg has given a thorough and elaborate exposition of the greater part of Zechariah and Malachi. He is too grammatical and dry to be generally interesting.

See links under No. 67

878.      KIMCHI (DAVID. A celebrated Spanish Rabbi. Died about 1240). Commentary on Zechariah. Translated from the Hebrew by Rev. A. M'Caul, A.M. 8vo. Lord., 1837. 1/6.

This enables the English reader to see how the Jews themselves understood the Prophets, and this is worth knowing.

880.    PARK (I. R., M.D.) An Amicable Controversy with a Jewish Rabbi on the Messiah's coming; with an entirely new Exposition of Zechariah. 8vo. Lond., 1832. 2/-

The words "entirely new exposition" put us on our guard, and did not entice us to read. The caution was needful. This author explains the prophecy spiritually, and asserts that "the spiritual is the most literal interpretation." We more than doubt it.

881.      PEMBLE (WILLIAM, M.A. Puritan. 1591—1623). A Short and Sweet Exposition upon the First Nine Chapters of Zechariah. In his Works. Folio. Oxf, 1659, and Lond., 1635. 3/6 to 5/-

Richard Capel
says: "Amongst the hardest bookes of Scripture the Prophets may have place, and amongst the Prophets, Zechary is a deepe, wherein an elephant may swimme, and therefore I cannot but commend the wisdom of that man of God (the author of this booke), who bestowed his learning and his paines to open the mysteries of this Prophecie. Death ended his dayes ere he could quite finish his worke, and great weakness hindered an intended supplement." Pemble was a learned Calvinistic divine, and his writings are highly esteemed, but not very captivating.

882.      STONARD (JOHN, D.D. 1769—1849). Commentary on Zechariah, with a Corrected Translation, and Critical Notes. 8vo. Lond., 1824. 4/-

An earnest attempt to expound this prophecy; we do not think the author has succeeded, but he has written some good things.

883.      WARDLAW (RALPH, D.D.) Lectures on Zechariah. [Posthumous Works, Vol. III.] Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Edinb., A. Fullerton & Co. 1862. S. 2/6.

Written in the Doctor's old age; but we prefer it, in some respects, to other volumes of his lectures. We always consult it.
