The Books of Nahum Habakkuk and Zephaniah (The New International Commentary on the Old Testament)

About this book

History and prophecy merge in the books of Nahum Habakkuk and Zephaniah. The crises of Judah and its neighbors bewailed by the three prophets in turn anticipated world-shaking events that were yet to come. Robertson combines biblical theology with contemporary awareness confronting readers with the ancient call to repentance and faith. As in every NIC volume the introduction discusses questions of date authorship and structure. The commentary proper based on Robertsons own translation is predominantly expository leaving details of text and translation for the footnotes.
