The Lord is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
Nahum 1:7a
Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai proclaim the sobering reality of divine judgment and the deep comfort of divine mercy. They confront violence, idolatry, pride, and injustice, while calling God's people to persevere in faithful trust when evil appears to triumph and suffering lingers. Yet these prophets also offer hope: the Lord is righteous and present with the humble, he remains a refuge in times of trouble, and he is at work to rebuild his people, preparing the way for his promised King.
In this accessible and richly biblical collection of commentaries, Edward Moll, Rohintan Mody, Taylor Turkington, and Thomas Petter guide readers through the historical setting, structure, and theology of these minor prophets, showing their enduring relevance for preachers, teachers, and all who seek to live by faith today.
