Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven J. Duby provides a close verse-by-verse exegesis of the book of Habakkuk, setting forth the important literary and historical considerations with a view to their bearing on the theological content of the text. Duby shows how Habakkuk fits within and contributes to the larger mosaic of God's self-revelation in redemptive history and reflects on how this intersects with important points of Christian doctrine. The work incorporates key concepts and doctrinal insights from the church's dogmatic tradition showing how they in turn can shed light on the scriptural text. The commentary includes excurses (for example, on the doctrine of justification) elaborating on how Habakkuk's message can inform biblical exegesis and Christian theology today.
