Nahum: The Angry Prophet

R. Calkins on the tirade of the prophet Nahum:

A man who is deeply and truly religious is always a man of wrath. Because he loves God and his fellow men, he hates and despises inhumanity, cruelty and wickedness. Every good man sometimes prophesies like Nahum.

Quoted in Old Testament Survey, Lasor et al., p.322
