Based on a synchronous reading of the Book of Zechariah in its Hebrew textual structure as well as intertextual references within and outside the Book of the Twelve, the study examines diverse processes of reception. These are reflected in literary and redactional criticism within the Hebrew canon and also in comparison with the Greek text. Examples include citations in the New Testament, by the Fathers of the Church, and in early Judaism.

The series Studies of the Bible and Its Reception (SBR) publishes monographs and collected volumes which explore the reception history of the Bible in a wide variety of academic and cultural contexts. Closely linked to the multi-volume project Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR), this book series is a publication platform for works which cover the broad field of reception history of the Bible in various religious traditions, historical periods, and cultural fields. Volumes in this series aim to present the material of reception processes or to develop methodological discussions in more detail, enabling authors and readers to more deeply engage and understand the dynamics of biblical reception in a wide variety of academic fields.
