How many can find it quickly in the Bible?! (It is right after Nahum and right before Zephaniah. That help?) There are several familiar verses in this short book, including “The righteous shall live by faith,” which Paul quotes in Romans 1, and my grandmother’s favorite verse of scripture (which some of you can probably say with me): “The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.” But Habakkuk hardly appears in the Common Lectionary , and is unknown territory, I suspect, for most Christians.</p> Sat, 16 Aug 2008 18:36:14 -0400
