5. Conclusions 305 what the author/editor's intention was. Nevertheless, the movement and logic of the passage in question could be seen quite clearly. 1 Some passages did not seem to have any clear structure, 2 and although this was disappointing, it does show that the method adopted will not allow all passages to be pressed into some sort of apparently logical pattern. It is likely that I have underestimated the intentions, and the artistry of the authors/editors of the book of Zechariah; and also that some of the patterns discovered by other scholars, that I have regarded as doubtful, may actually have been intended by the writers of the passages in question. This is to be expected, since I have concentrated on trying to discover patterns that could be shown to be 'intended', that is they reflect the conscious or even unconscious purposes of the writer. Occasionally, I made suggestions about possibilities that could not be proved or shown to be probable. 3 I hope that the change already seen in biblical commentaries will continue, and that eventually all commentators will take seriously the overall purpose and literary methods of the authors/editors in question, and that all will attempt to apply more rigorous tests to the structures that they seem to discern. 4 There is scope for and promise of much greater biblical understanding. 1. E.g. 2.1-4; 2.5-17; 6.1-8; 9.1-11.3. 2. E.g. 4.6ap-7; 5.1-4; 9.1-8. 3. E.g. on 6.9-15, in Chapter 3. 4. In other words I hope for commentaries that will give the factual evidence and sound, considered comment that Rudolph does, and add more imaginative suggestions, such as those of Watts in his commentary on Isaiah, but with more critical evaluation.
