God's Wrath & the Heretic's Scissors: Understanding Nahum


Listen Later

Join us for another enlightening episode in "The Minors" devotional series as we dive into the often-overlooked book of Nahum. This episode tackles the challenging topic of God's wrath and judgment, while exploring the fascinating historical account of Marcion - a second-century bishop's son who literally tried to cut these "uncomfortable" parts out of the Bible.

Discover why:

  • Many Christians today unknowingly follow "Marcionism" by avoiding the Old Testament
  • The book of Nahum's direct approach to God's wrath matters for modern believers
  • The passages that make us uncomfortable might be the ones we need most

This episode challenges our modern tendency to separate the "angry God" of the Old Testament from the "loving God" of the New Testament. Whether you're a seasoned Bible student or just beginning your journey, this discussion will help you wrestle with important questions about God's character and justice.

Part of our ongoing series examining the Minor Prophets, this episode builds on our previous discussions of Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, and Habakkuk.
