«'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. Drawing illuminating application from across scripture and Christian experience, each chapter is full of pastoral encouragement which, in the midst of troubling times, strengthens faith and inserts vertebra in our elastic spines.'»

«'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. But he is also pastorally sensitive, able to hear God's address to our present context to shape a faithful missional people for the sake of the world. One does not need to climb a mountain of biblical scholarship to get a molehill of insight for the church's life and mission today. I am always delighted when Chris takes on another canonical book. It is always rich with insight for our day. This brief book on Habakkuk is no different. This book will speak to the Word of God to our day whether it guides the preacher or a group Bible study or one's personal reading. May God continue to give Chris health and may we see more books like this one!'»

«'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. He illuminates the message of the prophet Habakkuk, who himself was wrestling with the existential threat of the coming Babylonian invasion. Wright offers this apt summary: 'We may not understand the world we are in, but we know the story we are in. And we need to strengthen our faith by continually bringing this story to mind'--which is precisely what the prophet Habakkuk himself was doing.'»

«'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.'»

«'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.'»
