Old Testament Commentary: Obadiah, Nahum, and Zephaniah

Obadiah, Nahum, and Zephaniah are among the least-read books of the Bible and are rarely preached about. Even so, Gordon Bridger encourages us to study these three prophets, who were already endorsed by Jesus himself, and to apply their teachings.

As part of Scripture, they proclaim a message from God and teach us several fundamental truths, such as the importance of being centered on Him—sovereign, just, close, personal, and loving—and the need to confront sin and its judgment. Aware, on the other hand, of the social and political reality of the time (7th century BC), they also deal with spiritual and moral issues, the corruption of political leaders, the sin of national and personal pride, and crimes against humanity and God's people.

Themes and issues that are explained and answered in these three unique books, in which the author makes a particular effort to convey the clarity of their content and the undeniable message derived from them, so timely and necessary for the reality of today's society.
