Here are four thoughtful quotes from respected Christian leaders and theologians on the Book of Nahum:

John Calvin (1509–1564) — on the purpose of Nahum’s prophecy: “The design of the Prophet was to comfort the Jews, by showing that God would undertake their cause.”

Charles Spurgeon (1834–1892) — on Nahum 1:7: “Right in the middle of the surging flood stands out, like a green island, this most cheering, comforting, and delightful text.”

J. Vernon McGee (1904–1988) — on the central message of Nahum: “Nahum reveals the other side of the attributes of God. God is love, but God is also holy and righteous and good.”

Warren Wiersbe (1929–2019) — on Nineveh’s coming judgment: “God had patiently dealt with Nineveh, but now His judgment was going to fall.”
