Robert D. Haak | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Beginning with form- and text-critical examinations of the text of Habakkuk, this work examines the role of the prophet in the historical setting of late 7th-century Judah. It assesses the policies supported by Habakkuk during the debate surrounding the demise of the Assyrian empire and Judah's role in the new political situation. It provides a basis for examining the role of prophets in Judahite society.
