Performing Habakkuk

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The prophetic book of Habakkuk aims, as does all Scripture, at the transformation of its audience. Mathews has creatively used performance criticism to highlight the drama of Habakkuk and retrieve its message of faithfulness in the midst of cultural trauma and public crises. She has also provided a new translation that provides the 'script' for the performance of Habakkuk. I highly recommend this book.”
