BST: Obadiah, Nahum and Zephaniah

The Kindness and Severity of God.Obadiah, Nahum and Zephaniah are
probably among the least-read books of the Bible, and rarely preached. However,
Gordon Bridger encourages us to study and apply these three Old Testament
prophets for several compelling reasons.As part of Scripture, endorsed by
Jesus, they claim to bring a message from God, and teach us some major truths:
the importance of focusing on God, who is personal, sovereign, righteous and
loving; of facing up to sin and judgment; of responding in repentance and
faith; and of the hope of future salvation and restoration. They also relate to
the real world, in touch with the social and political issues of their day (the
seventh century BC), as well as spiritual and moral issues: sleaze amongst
political leaders, unfaithfulness of religious leaders, national and personal
pride, crimes against humanity and persecution of God's people.Hence, these
challenging books tackle themes and issues, expounded here with
clarity and conviction, which are especially relevant to today's church and
world. (= 0830824340 / 9780830824342)Series: The Bible Speaks
