Habakkuk is a book of discipleship, a book written to bring its Reader to a deeper faith in Yahweh in the presence of His unthinkable deeds.
With a balance of theological reflection, exegetical depth, and assistance with the Hebrew text, the Hebrew student will be equipped to wrestle with the text in its original language and develop their understanding of the language simultaneously..
Each section has an introduction followed by the text and comments on textual, theological, and interpretative issues.
After an extensive introduction discussing the significant issues and laying the groundwork for interpreting Habakkuk, this Commentary presents the Hebrew text juxtaposed with an English translation and with contextual glosses for Hebrew Words occurring less than thirty times in the Hebrew Bible.
The goal of this Commentary and Reader is to facilitate theological, devotional, and pastoral engagement with the Hebrew text of Habakkuk alongside development in one\'s understanding of Hebrew.
Its eloquent poetry and interpretive issues make it a suitable, even necessary, subject for Hebrew study.
Habakkuk is a challenging yet beautiful book that has much to teach the people of God.
In this way, and only this way, will they be delivered from their oppressors and enjoy God\'s blessings; only by faith can they have life.
All His people are called to extraordinary faith, to believe Him even when His deeds are unbelievable.
What appears to be horrid judgment is actually his plan to save those who trust in Him.
His response is the invasion of fearsome Chaldea.
Amidst oppressive evil at the hands of their Judahite brothers, the righteous of Judah cry out to God for salvation.
