Habakkuk |
Habakkuk is the eighth book of the 12 minor prophets of
the Hebrew Bible. It is attributed to the prophet Habakkuk, and was probably
composed in the late 7th century BCE. A copy of chapters 1 and 2 (of 3) is
included in the Habakkuk Commentary, found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Chapters 1-2 are a dialog between Yahweh and the prophet. The central message,
that "the just shall live by his faith" (2:4), plays an important rule in
Christian thought. It is used in Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38
as the starting point of the concept of faith. Chapter 3 may be an independent
addition, now recognized as a liturgical piece, but was possibly written by the
same author as chapters 1 and 2.
