  • Life for the righteous, doom for the wicked: reading Habakkuk from a wisdom perspective 
    Prinsloo, Gert Thomas Marthinus (Faculty of Theology, University of Pretoria, 2000)
    In many ways, the book of Habakkuk is unique in the Book of the Twelve Prophets. One of the reasons is that the Gattungen normally associated with prophetic literature are either absent or occur in unique forms. On the ...

    Botha, A.J. (Faculty of Theology, University of Pretoria, 2000)
