In this episode, Dr. Trevor Laurence wrestles with how Christians ought to pray the imprecatory psalms, which call on God to judge, destroy, or otherwise punish the enemies of the one praying. Should Christians pray these prayers or do they run counter to Christ's call to love enemies and to pray for those who persecute? And if they should, how? This is the topic of Laurence's new book with Baylor University Press, Cursing With God: The Imprecatory Psalms and the Ethics of Christian Prayer.
