In this study, Franziska Ede offers an exegesis of the prophetic book of Habakkuk and its reception in Qumran, that is the so-called Pesher Habakkuk (1QpHab.) The main interest lies in the hermeneutic self-conception of both the biblical and non-biblical authors. In this regard, the author illustrates how theological perspectives, which originate within the biblical book, are resumed and appropriated in Pesher Habakkuk.
