Obadiah and Habakkuk

Obadiah and Habakkuk - Edward Marbury

Part of the Klock & Klock Limited Classical Reprint Library. Originally written by Edward Marbury (1581-1655) who was an English minister of the 17th century, became rector of St. James's, Garlickhithe, London, in 1613; subsequently rector of St. Peter's, Paul's Wharf, and retired from public labors during the Rebellion. He died about 1655. Marbury published A Commentary on Obadiah (London in 1649) and A Commentary on Habakkuk (in 1650). It was reprinted in a single volume in 1865. And now by Klock & Klock in 1979. The Book of Obadiah is a book of the Bible whose authorship is attributed to Obadiah, a prophet who lived in the Assyrian Period. Obadiah is one of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the final section of Nevi'im, the second main division of the Hebrew Bible. The Book of Habakkuk is the eighth book of the 12 minor prophets of the Bible. It is attributed to the prophet Habakkuk, and was probably composed in the late 7th century BC. The original text was written in the Hebrew language. Of the three chapters in the book, the first two are a dialogue between Yahweh and the prophet. The message that "the just shall live by his faith" plays an important role in Christian thought.
