Hi! First, I wanted to let you know I edited out a few typos for you. Nothing major. Secondly, I wanted to ask you about the themes. To me, this book certainly involves the themes of God's judgment of the wicked and His salvation of those who trust in Him. I haven't read any commentaries on it, though. What do you think?

Sharon,
Per WP:ERA, I wanted to try to establish a consensus for either BC or BCE so that the edit warring between the two versions will cease. From looking at the article and the sources used, it appears that BC would be a better choice, as (from what I could see) BC seems to be the version used in the reliable sources, and was the version used in the original version of the article, and was consistently used for years.
Until EncycloPetey inserted BCE into the article in 2008, the article had consistently used BC, without exception, for seven years. Aside from that singe instance of BCE in the article, the only other mention of BCE in the pre-December version of the article was an arbitrary change from BC to BCE and per WP:ERA should have been reverted. Because of this I think that between the two, BC is the more logical choice for use in the article. - Sudo Ghost 05:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
The initial article said BC. Unless there is a reason to BCE, it should be BC, per policy. Hipocrite ( talk) 12:54, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
I think EncycloPetey's point is that there's a difference between using "BC" on say Alexander the Great and using "BC" on a Hebrew prophet. Which is a fair point isn't it? Even if it isn't on WP:ERA, yet. In ictu oculi ( talk) 00:01, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

In the 'Themes' section of this article is the sentence: "Habakkuk is unique among the prophets in that he openly questions the wisdom of God." I'm thinking of downgrading this claim to something more like "Habakkuk openly questions the wisdom of God" in light of other examples of questioning by prophets, like Jeremiah 12:1 and Jonah's argument with God about Nineveh. And the claim about Habakkuk being 'unique' is, as far as I can tell, unsourced anyhow. Any objections? Alephb ( talk) 07:45, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
