Books read in 2023: No. 20 - The Book of Habakkuk

published by Zondervan

Started: June 22
Finished: June 22

Notes: Trying to catch up on my Biblical readings, I turn to another of the prophetic works from the latter portion of the Old Testament.

Mini review: In this book the prophet Habakkuk has a conversation with God and questions God concerning evils, especially evils perpetrated against Israel by the Chaldeans. God gives an answer, mainly that he will punish the Chaldeans even harsher than the Israelites are being punished. The final chapter is basically a prayer or poem in which Habakkuk shows his faith in God.
