Talk:Book of Zechariah

message: I am a Christian and I would equate the writings of Zechariah with prophecies that were fulfilled/will be fulfilled by Jesus’ first and second coming.  In that the Jews the very people that should of have accepted Jesus as King rejected him for 30 pieces of silver, one of the few places in the bible where strong sarcasm was used; but that eventually Jerusalem will be lifted up and the Jews will morn for Jesus like a father would for the loss of his only son?  Do other Christians see a similar meaning?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.170.67.78  (talk • contribs) 18:24, 1 May 2008
:The book is cited a few times in the article Claimed Messianic prophecies of Jesus, but I agree that the verses are significant enough to expand in some detail, also mentioning the interpretation of those verses by Jewish authorities. I'm not sure whether this should be done within this article or in a separate page, like Isaiah 53. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Christian Perspective 

message: "Zechariah’s ministry took place during the reign of Darius the Great"
Does anyone else think that the word "ministry" has a particular Christian flavor that is inappropriate in describing a pre-Christian relgious figure? Maybe a more neutral way to phrase this would be "Zechariah was active during the reign . . ."
It seems like a small thing, but there is a more general concern about a Christian or Christian-centric coloring to descriptions of books that are holy not only (or even principally) to Christians.

replies: text: Well spotted, go right ahead! The word "ministry" is used about prophets in Jewish sources e.g. , but if that's unusual then nobody will argue about you changing Wikipedia to use more WP:NPOV language, and there's no need to discuss that sort of edit first.

thread_title:  Use of an anachronistic and possibly biased term ("ministry") 

message: I tagged this as possibly "Original Research".  This section (as currently written) presents the author's interpretation of part of the book, when there are (of course) a number of interpretations out there (many more popular - in fact, this one is pretty novel as far as I'm aware).  If everyone offers their own personal opinion on the meaning of various passages in Zechariah, then this will get to be an exceedingly long article.   On top of all that, there aren't any sources cited for the interpretation other than the texts being interpreted, which leads me to believe that the author is giving his own opinion.  C.W.

thread_title: Change the article's title

message: "The major prophets is a grouping of books in the Christian Old Testament that does not occur in the Hebrew Bible."
Well if "the major prophets" are defined by the fact that they aren't included in the "Jewish Bible" (which I believe is a manufactured term, and for political purposes), then why does the Article insist on including "the Jewish Bible" in the body of the Article at all, as if that "bible" is somehow relevant to this Article?  The Lede just SAID they aren't included, and yet it keeps banging on the drum of this non-existent Jewish "bible".  It's like a pushy salesperson trying to sell you the thing you DON'T want, after you put specific effort to come into the store looking for that thing, and nothing else.  If I want to learn about "the Jewish Bible", I'll go to THAT Wikipedia Article, no... wait... that "Article" doesn't exist.  So then why is Wikipedia polluting my awareness with this garbage?

Even worse, it reduces a colorful personality like the Colonel Barker to a simple crossdresser by leaving out all the information, that puts her in an encyclopedic kontext, namely that she was first a member of Rotha Lintorn Orman's BF (British Fascists) and was later described as the head of the NF (National Fascisti) in London, that in 1927 she was arrested (but not convicted) after a brawl with an other Fascist splinter group, that she claimed and was believed for years (even in courts) to have won the Croix-de-Guerre and the French Legion of Honour, and, and.
