Why Obadiah is Important for the Church

September 22, 2021 By Peter Krol

James Street wrote a marvelous piece overviewing the brief prophecy of Obadiah and explaining why it is important for us to continue studying and teaching today. He explains the historical context (without which the book will be terribly confusing) before walking through the book under three chief questions:

  1. How far will God’s love go? – 1-9
  2. How long will God’s love last? – 10-16
  3. How good will God’s love get? – 17-21

This book makes quite a contribution to our understanding of God’s love for his people, and is well worth your time. As is Street’s helpful analysis.
