"Why does Nahum focus so heavily on Nineveh’s downfall when Jonah showed its repentance? In Nahum 1:2–3, God is described as both avenging and slow to anger. How should we interpret this tension in God’s character? In today's episode, Emma Dotter gives more historical background for the book of Nahum and unpacks how God's mercy is wise, but this justice is also sure. Emma helps us think about how God's character can display both patience and judgment against sin.
