As the prophet Nahum shows us, God's passionate love threatens all our other loves. When we find God boring and the world fascinating, we commit the sin of rebellion, but God, with severe compassion, refuses to abandon us when we stray into destructive paths. Ultimately, Nahum's prophecy is fulfilled in Christ, who relentlessly pursued his people and entered history in order to redeem them for himself. Cook further aids our understanding with historical background, cultural references, literary allusions, poetic devices, and challenging application.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Gregory D.
