The book of Habakkuk (one of the twelve Minor Prophets) is an intensely personal testimony played out against a highly political backdrop. Writing as his land and his fellow Israelites were being invaded and plundered by the Chaldeans, Habakkuk questions God’s actions with a passion equal to Job’s. Habakkuk wonders, how can a God who is just and compassionate allow his people to be slaughtered? In trying to punish the Israelites and right the wrongs of his people, why did God choose the savage, infinitely more wicked Chaldeans as his instrument? The puzzles Habakkuk contemplates will stir the hearts and minds of anyone who has ever wrestled with the evils of existence. Francis I. Andersen, a well-known authority on the Minor Prophets and acclaimed for his pioneering work in the study of biblical Hebrew, examines Habakkuk both as a work of sophisticated theological inquiry and as an artistic creation. The result is a book that illuminates the nuances of the text and brings to life the culture and values of the ancient Israelites through a compelling portrait of one the Bible’s most fascinating and most elusive prophets

Girolamo completa il Commentario al profeta Abacuc nel 393 e lo dedica all'amico Cromazio, vescovo di Aquileia. Nel percorso esegetico che lo vede impegnato a spiegare l'intero corpus profetico, l'interpretazione di Abacuc dipende fortemente da Origene, sulla cui eredità sorgerà proprio in quell'anno la famosa controversia. Girolamo offre un doppio commento, al testo ebraico e a quello greco dei Settanta. Al primo dedica una spiegazione per lo più letterale, mentre al secondo è riservata l'esegesi di stampo allegorico. Un punto qualificante del commento di Girolamo è la coerenza interpretativa, che riesce a stabilire anche fra l’esegesi dei primi due capitoli e il terzo, il cosiddetto cantico di Abacuc, che ha la forma di un salmo. I suoi predecessori, notando una certa estraneità fra la vicenda storica dell’oppressione di Nabucodonosor (cap. 1-2) e il cantico, avevano dato di quest’ultimo testo una lettura cristologica indipendente dall’interpretazione della prima parte. Girolamo, invece, riesce a congiungere nella sua esegesi anche quest’ultima parte (che verosimilmente risulta aggiunta da un redattore al testo profetico), anticipando e applicando il senso cristologico anche ai primi due capitoli grazie a inserti in cui annuncia proletticamente la venuta di Cristo. La versione latina originale del testo proposto in traduzione in questo volume è pubblicata nella collana Corpus Christianorum. Series Latina con il titolo Hieronymus – Commentarius in Abacuc (CCSL 76-76A bis 1). I rimandi alle pagine corrispondenti dell’edizione sono forniti a margine di questa traduzione.

This volume offers a womanist and feminist analysis of the books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah, attending to translation and textual issues, use of power and agency, and constructions of gender and its significance for the real and metaphorical women in the texts. The unit on Nahum takes an unflinching look at God's role and rhetoric in the rape of Nineveh and considers implications for the women of Nineveh and Israel and for contemporary readers. Habakkuk is read employing a womanist stratagem, talking back to God. The section on Zephaniah explores the racialized history of interpreting "Cushi" in Zephaniah's genealogy and the figures of Daughter Zion/Jerusalem. The commentary also assesses these texts as scriptures of synagogue and church, their use and utility. A Jewish feminist reading and womanist hermeneutic accompanies each biblical book.
