Written by the prophet Habakkuk, likely in the late 7th century B.C. as Babylon was rising. Habakkuk wrestles honestly with God about why evil prospers and receives the answer that the righteous shall live by faith — a truth that echoes through Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews.
The prophet Habakkuk presses God with two audacious complaints about injustice and divine silence, and receives answers that culminate in one of Scripture's most far-reaching theological principles: the righteous shall live by faith.
Habakkuk's closing psalm moves from trembling before God's theophanic judgment to the astonishing resolution of praise even in total desolation — modeling the journey from lament to trust that is the shape of biblical faith.
