The Earliest Commentary on the Prophecy of Habakkuk de Timothy H. Lim

The Earliest Commentary on the Prophecy of Habakkuk: Oxford Commentary on the Dead Sea Scrolls

Autor Timothy H. Lim
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 apr 2020
This is the first major commentary in English on Pesher Habakkuk for forty years. It elucidates the nature of 1QpHab as the earliest commentary on the prophecy of Habakkuk by a detailed study of the biblical quotation and sectarian interpretation. This commentary provides a new edition of the scroll, including new readings, and detailed palaeographical, philological, exegetical and historical notes and discussion. It shows that the pesherist imitates the allusive style of the oracles of Habakkuk and also draws on lexemes, phrases, and themes from other biblical texts and Jewish sources. It shows that the pesherist identified the Kittim with the Romans who conquered Judaea in 63 BCE, and suggests that the scroll refers to several righteous and wicked figures, including the last Hasmonean high priests.

Recenzii

...offers plenty of food for thought and rich source for those already familiar with the Pesher of Habakkuk and its research.
Graduate courses and seminars on the reception of sacred writings in the Second Temple period will be greatly enriched by Lim's careful analyses from the textual minutiae to the broader historical contexts and theological themes.
The commentary proper, comprising 130 pages, contains a reconstruction of the Hebrew text, an English translation, and a brief annotated bibliography, followed by extensive technical notes and a few paragraphs of commentary for each unit. All this is lucidly written with judicious references to the leading scholarly discussions of pertinent subjects. The volume strikes a fine balance, as it is both richly informed with the very best and most recent scholarship yet presented in a manner accessible to nonspecialists.
I want to celebrate Timothy's achievement in two dimensions. First, he is the series editor for the Oxford Commentary on the Dead Sea Scrolls (to which I am contributing the commentary on the Hodayot). This project will go a long way toward supplying the kind of studies we so desperately need. Second, he has set us all a good (indeed an intimidating) example in producing such a fine first volume in the series.
This is an excellent work. [...] For theological colleges, it may be of great interest when discussing NT backgrounds and methods of interpreting Scripture contemporary to the NT.
Lim's commentary is an important contribution to scholarship on the Dead Sea Scrolls and on the pesharim in particular. Its approach is understated, but has philological sophistication. Here is a fresh way of noting the enduring resonances of the prophetic text, as the ancient commentator builds his own insights on those of the Teacher.
...succinctly covers many relevant topics both about the scroll itself and its interpretation.
... there is much of value in The Earliest Commentary on the Prophecy of Habakkuk for scholars from many different subfields. It is a fitting way to launch the Oxford Commentary on the Dead Sea Scrolls (of which Lim is also the series editor), and readers who benefit from this volume will doubtless be looking forward to future releases in this series.
The Earliest Commentary on the Prophecy of Habakkuk is an accessible and indispensable resource for those engaged in work on the pesharim or the wider interpretive traditions of the Second Temple period... Lim as author and general editor of the series is to be congratulated.
