Bible Study: Tuesday PM & Thursday AM

We’ll be studying the book of Nahum as a counterpoint to the book of Jonah. Abraham Heschel’s concept of divine pathos — that the prophets are not just mouthpieces of theological ideas but men seized by God’s own emotional engagement with human suffering — frames Nahum not as cold jurisprudence but as God’s own anguish and anger breaking through. Heschel suggests the prophet participates in God’s feeling toward the oppressor.
