ZECOT : Habakkuk : The Judge of All the Earth Shall Do Right : A Discourse Analysis of the Hebrew Bible
Outline: The book of Habakkuk is most known for its theological value as a prooftext for Paul's gospel - "the just shall live by faith" - and its devotional value of hope, trust, and triumph in its closing verses. Indeed, theology and devotion come together as we engage with the prophet's personal faith journey. In the historical context of the looming Babylonian exile, Habakkuk struggles, as Abraham and Job did, with apparent inconsistencies concerning God's character and plant. Ultimately, however, his questioning and challenging are both rooted and resolved in faith. As readers, we are invited to enter in and behold God's glory, wonder, mystery, sovereignty, justice, and grace.
The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series shows readers that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the series carefully analyzes the discourse of each Old Testament book and shows how the main thrust of each passage contributes to the development of the whole composition in the original Hebrew. For each passage, it consistently provides the main idea of the passage, its literary context, the author's original translation and exegetical outline with Hebrew layout, its structure and literary form, an explanation of the text, and its canonical and practical significance. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical Hebrew, Hebrew words are always explained so that anyone who desires to understand the Old Testament and communicate its message will find the volumes in this series beneficial.
