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

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.
