Habakkuk and Zephaniah (eBook, ePUB)

A Pastoral and Contextual Commentary

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The books of Habakkuk and Zephaniah are God's word to his people Israel at the lowest point in their history - the time of the Babylonian captivity. In the horizon, the looming national disaster is not simply contrasted with the prophetic hope of deliverance; rather the brightest light that shines is the display of God's unchanging faithfulness, power, and holiness - the foundations for divine action for the well-being of the remnant of Judah. They show us the faith of the righteous among the rebels and the ruins. These two powerful books demonstrate that faith without faithfulness is an infantile fantasy. Written in accessible language to guide readers into the world of Hebrew poetry, this volume speaks to all those who continue to desire God in life's dark places and dark times, revealing Scripture's beauty and power as we persist in seeking to understand its intricacies. The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing a pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.
