Hearing the Message of Habakkuk: Living by Faith in a Violent World |
Old Testament scholar Christopher J. H. Wright presents a popular-level exposition of the powerful book of Habakkuk. What we learn from the prophet's dialogue with God can help us today as we struggle to work out what it means to believe in God's sovereignty, justice, and love, and to live as faithful disciples in an unjust world. |

Praise for Hearing the Message of Habakkuk |
"Chris has done it once again. One of our generation's most careful and thoughtful biblical scholars and church leaders applies theological insight, biblical understanding, and pastoral concern to the book of Habakkuk, opening it up for our day. His attentiveness offers a fresh word from an indispensable prophetic book. As I preach and teach Habakkuk, I will return to this gift again and again." —Dr. Heath A. Thomas , President & Professor of Old Testament, Oklahoma Baptist University, Associate Fellow, The Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology in Cambridge |
"There's no question: here is a book for such a time as this. With customary clarity, Chris Wright unpacks the extraordinary relevance of Habakkuk to the unsettling realities of our world, pointing us to the certainties of God's Sovereign control and compassionate care." —Jonathan Lamb, author, teacher, and former Director of Langham Preaching |
"Chris Wright has become a trustworthy and reliable interpreter of Scripture for many in our day. He is a fine scholar fully in command of the tools of biblical scholarship." —Michael Goheen, Professor of Missional Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary and Missional Training Center |
"Discussions about the problem of evil run the risk of being solely intellectual endeavors, detached from human suffering and disconnected from the resources of the gospel. By contrast, in this powerful and moving book, Chris Wright wisely and insightfully engages the problem of evil in its ancient setting." —Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics and professor, Palm Beach Atlantic University, author of Loving Wisdom and Christian Faith and Is God a Vindictive Bully? |
"Biblical theologian, and steward of words, Chris Wright, navigates us through the dark days of Habakkuk, comparing them to the geopolitical history of our own times. We learn context, history, and even "feel" with Habakkuk. Thankfully, Chris brings us through challenged, and a little provoked, to that gloriously hopeful last chapter of Habakkuk. There he unfolds the sagely kind of wisdom I've come to expect from him - "we live every day in renewed trust in the sovereign good governance of God in God's world." I could read that on every page." —Kim Thomas, Artist, Author, and Curate at The Village Chapel |
