Endnote 1 – Zephaniah: Prophet of His Time—Not the End Time!

That it is thought to be typical is also a common scholarly error. I do not believe this tripartite pattern is to be found in the other major prophetic books. But that is too large a topic to be treated here. See my recently published Zephaniah: A Commentary, ed. Paul Hanson, Hermeneia (Minneapolis: Fortress, 2003).
