The rhetorical function and historical origins of the message of judgment in the book of Zephaniah have been interpreted very differently by scholars. The literary history of the book partly explains this diversity. Zephaniah began its written existence as a call to repentance in pre-exilic Judah (1,2–2,3), then served as an explanation for the disaster of 587 BC (1,2–3,8) and, in its final form, as a promise of redemption to the post-exilic community. The meaning of the proclamation of doom was radically transformed by the various historical and canonical contexts in which the book was read. Attention to this process helps to clarify, on one hand, the relationship between the book and the figure of the historical prophet and, on another, provides a basis for modern theological appropriations of its message.
