# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Habakkuk was active around 612 BC, a moment when empires shifted and moral disorder seemed to reign. The Book of Habakkuk preserves his oracles and a prayer, placing him eighth among the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Almost nothing biographical survives beyond his title, "the prophet" — no birthplace, no genealogy, no life events. He appears briefly in the deuterocanonical Additions to Daniel, and over the centuries both Christian and Rabbinic traditions have kept his name alive, though the man himself remains a voice without a face.
