The ancient city of Nineveh

    Briefly describe the ancient city of Nineveh and, drawing on a specific example from the book of Nahum and the secondary reading, explain why this prophet celebrates the downfall of the city. The book of Habakkuk is distinctive because it conveys not simply the word of God to Israel but also attests a dialogue between God and a prophet. Cite a specific example from the text and utilize the secondary reading to answer this question—what is Habakkuk complaining about to God?
