Abstract
This article discusses the key topics for the study of the Book of Zephaniah, including structure, authorship, date, central themes, Zephaniah’s relationship with the Book of the Twelve and the Hebrew Bible. Themes explored include the day of Yahweh, illicit cult practice, the contrast between corrupt elite classes and a humble remnant, the city, redemption and restoration. Many of these themes are found in the other minor prophets but they find unique expression in Zephaniah, carefully crafted to convey the prophet’s message. The article ends with a reflection on how to read Zephaniah – how to make sense of the individuality of the book amongst the plurality of intertextual connections found within it.
