This first monograph to chart the use of Zephaniah in the NT insightfully demonstrates that John 12:13 and 15 taken together allude to Zephaniah 3:14-15 and that Zephaniah 3 has a greater impact on John's entry narrative than many scholars hold. Supported by careful exegesis and attention to literary and theological contextual details, Tachick opens up new insights into John 12 and the nature of Jesus's kingship.
