Judges and Ruth
The concept of judgment is at odds with today s culture- which considers it a sin to suggest there is such a thing as sin. Perhaps that is partly because we have seen all too clearly the fallibility of those who judge. What many of us long for is not judgment but righteousness and deliverance from oppression. That is why the books of Judges and Ruth are so relevant today: Judges- because it rev…

Jonah- Nahum- Habakkuk- Zephaniah
The prophetic books Jonah- Nahum- Habakkuk- and Zephaniah are brief but powerful. They comfort us with the assurance that- when nothing in this life makes sense- God is still in control. They toughen our faith in the face of the world s ugly realities. And they reveal the complexities of humans in relation to God. Jonah ran from his divine commission. Habakkuk questioned God concerning his ways…

John
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there- assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words- they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don t discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable but the job is only half done!

Joel- Obadiah- Malachi
These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending judgment—for all peoples on the Day of the Lord- for an enemy of Israel- and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of great hope—of the pouring out of God’s Spirit- of restoration and renewal- and of a coming Messiah. Placing judgment and hope together i…

Job
The title character of the book of Job suffers terribly- but we should not mistakenly think that this book is just about Job. It is about all of us- and ultimately about God.Many have thought that the book simply restates the perennial questions that plague humankind in a world full of suffering. But often our questions are too limited- and we must learn to ask better questions so that we might…

Jeremiah- Lamentations
The books of Jeremiah and Lamentations cannot be separated from the political conditions of ancient Judah. Beginning with the righteous king Josiah- who ushered in a time of glorious but brief religious reform- Jeremiah reflects the close tie between spiritual and political prosperity or disaster- between the actions and heart of Judah and her kings and their fortunes as a nation. While few of …

Hosea- Amos- Micah
Scratch beneath the surface of today s culture and you ll find we re not so different from ancient Israel. True- our sophistication- mobility- and technology eclipse anything the Israelites could have imagined. Our worship is far different- to say nothing of our language and customs. Yet if the prophets Hosea- Amos- and Micah were to visit us today- we might be shocked to see how little their m…
