Joseph A. Fitzmyer
Outside of the Gospels themselves, there is no single Christian document
whose influence has been greater than Paul’s epistle to the Romans. Its
explosive character has changed lives—Augustine’s, Martin Luther’s,
Karl Barth’s, to name a few—and precipitated revolutions. This
full-scale commentary deals with the most important issues of the early
Christian church. And it is through the eyes of the apostle Paul, the
major figure of this period, that we see dominant motifs and themes, the
theological essentials of the Christian faith. Who better than the once
pious Jew, converted to the Christian cause, to tell the reader about
the early struggles with Judaism, the reluctant yet nurturing mother of
this new community of faith?

The puzzles
Habakkuk contemplates will stir the hearts and minds of anyone who has
ever wrestled with the existence of evil. Francis I. Andersen, a
well-known authority on the Minor Prophets and acclaimed Hebrew studies
pioneer, examines Habakkuk both as a work of sophisticated theological
inquiry and as an artistic creation. The result is a book that
illuminates the nuances of the text and brings to life the culture and
values of the ancient Israelites through a compelling portrait of one
the Bible’s most fascinating and elusive prophets.
