Obadiah: Audio Lectures

7 Lessons on History, Meaning, and Application

By: Daniel I. Block

Narrated by: Daniel Block

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Obadiah: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Obadiah: Audio Lectures, together with the accompany text on Obadiah from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Daniel Block traces the flow of argument in the book of Obadiah, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say.

Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, and full of warnings against pride and the Day of the Lord. This short book contains important themes that connect to both the Old and New Testaments. Each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context, the author's original translation and exegetical outline with Hebrew layout, its structure and literary form, an explanation of the text, and its canonical and practical significance for us today.

Great commentary

This is a great commentary with in-depth explanations of the text. I love his teaching style.

No stone left unturned...

This was a deep study into Obadiah.
Professor Block does a masterful job in providing background and context for the book.
The intertextural connections with the other Prophets was eye-opening.
I see that Professor Block also has written commentaries on Ezekiel.
A Zondervan Audio Lecture on Ezekiel from Professor Block would be apperciated!
