Question about Habakkuk 3
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2014 8:38 pm
Hello,
I'm right now studying the prophet Habakkuk and I have a question that - mayby someone of you - can answer. As some of you will know, in liberal theology the unity of the book of the prophet is questioned. They argue that, because the Habakkuk-Comentary, wich was found in Qumran Cave I, does'nt mention Habakkuk chap. 3, this text must be written in the time after the babylonian exile.
I read that in Wadi Murabba'at a srcoll with the Minor Prophets was found too and that this scroll includes the whole book of Habakkuk (including chap. 3). But I didn't found further validation about it. Can anyone confirm this information? Has anyone moore information about any manuscript of the book getting back to 200 B.C.?
I really would appreciate your help. Thanks!
