The Psalms We Skip, Part 2

About this episode

In this episode, Ron and John discuss how Christians should approach imprecatory psalms in the context of the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus.

In Part 2 of The Psalms We Skip , Ron and John turn to the New Testament and ask how Christians should read the imprecatory psalms in light of Jesus, the cross, and the gospel. Along the way, they explore enemy-love, divine justice, and how the church can still pray these difficult texts as Scripture. It will come as no surprise that they conclude Christians have to take the Bible as a whole, and there is no skipping the hard parts!
