Who wrote the book of Zechariah?

Answer 1

The Book of Zechariah is thought to have three authors, known today as First Zechariah, Second Zechariah and Third Zechariah, writing at different times in the post-Exilic period. Certainly, all three authors were writing to the Jews of their time, but particularly to those Jews who continued to worship the old gods of pre-Exilic times. A consistent theme throughout the book is that everyone must now follow in the ways of the Lord, who will judge the unrighteous.

AnswerZechariah was written by only one author to the Jewish people involved in the building of the temple in order to encourage them.

Answer 2

It is estimated to have been written around 450 B.C.E. Other estimates have it written around 375 B.C.E. It's likely the text was assembled over a long period of time so the exact date is hard to nail down.

It's worth noting that the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah are presented as a single book in the Hebrew Scripture. The span of Ezra-Nehemiah span a time period of more than a century (538-450 B.C.E.), from Cyrus' edict mandating the exiled Jews to return to their homeland from Babylon, to the beginning of Nehemiah's second term as governor in Jerusalem.
