Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai

Joshua Harper has produced an impressive handbook that will be of great use to student and scholar alike. His discussions are careful and erudite, ably guiding the reader through the text. The grammatical analyses are clear and the commentary throughout--touching on discourse features, literary considerations, textual criticism, and the technique of the translator--evinces a rigorous engagement with these texts. For anyone wanting to read or do work in LXX Habakkuk, Zephaniah, or Haggai, they should do so with this book at hand!

This insightful work will be an invaluable resource to students of the Septuagint. Harper provides meticulous succinct analyses covering both simple and complex grammatical issues along with numerous important references to key research on the language. Those who accept the worthy challenge of engaging with the Old Greek of Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai will find this handbook an immensely helpful tool.

He literally explains every grammatical issues and parses every word and one can only marvel at his exhaustive work.
