Habakkuk: Audio Lectures: 14 Lessons on Literary Context, Structure, Exegesis, and Interpretation

Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Habakkuk: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Habakkuk from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Kenneth Turner traces the flow of argument in the book of Habakkuk, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say.

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’' personal faith journey. In the historical context of the looming Babylonian exile, Habakkuk struggles, as Abraham and Job did, with the apparent inconsistencies concerning God's character and plan. Ultimately, however, his questioning and challenging are both rooted and resolved in faith. As students, we are invited to enter in and behold God's glory, wonder, mystery, sovereignty, justice, and grace.

In Habakkuk: Audio Lectures, each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context and Hebrew structure, an explanation of the text, and its practical significance for both the original audience and for us today.
