Synopsis

Book Summary The Minor Prophets wrote extensively about the role of God in national calamity in regards to chastisement. Little has been written, however, to help pastors struggle with this difficult and unpopular subject in their preaching. This work is a study focused on formulating preaching guidelines to be used when interacting with natural or national crises, using the Minor Prophets as models. The book is concerned with the questions raised by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the Evangelical response. Prior to 9/11, many Evangelical pastors and spokespersons decried the sins of America and warned of possible and even deserved judgment. When the national crisis of 9/11 occurred, however, which seems to parallel the circumstances that God used to gain the attention of an errant nation in the Bible, many Evangelicals either were silent concerning judgment or vigorously promoted patriotism and "just-war" retaliation against perceived enemies. A primary premise of the work is that there is a misunderstanding or denial of the possible chastising role of God upon the USA on 9/11.

From the Author

For decades prior to 9/11 the evangelical community preached about the moral decline of the U.S. and warned of deserved judgment. Post 9/11, however, many prominent evangelicals promoted war as a reaction to an event that had (in my opinion) all the evidence of a judgment of God? My concern was, with the promotion of war, was the church’s voice sounding more patriotic than prophetic? Did the church demonstrate any understanding of God’s possible role in national tragedy? Was allegiance to the State (nationalism) outweighing allegiance to Christ?

Since the Minor Prophets ministered during periods of great upheaval and national catastrophes, their writings seemed to be speaking to contemporary issues. The book is concerned with the theological questions raised by 9/11, the subsequent wars, and the evangelical response both in print and in the pulpit

My book is not an "end-times" prophecy book about how current events are the fulfillment of any eschatological scenario. I am vehemently opposed to such pop-theology. My concern is that much misunderstanding still exists concerning the biblical role of a prophet and the nature of prophetic speech. The Minor Prophets serve as examples to prophetic voices in the midst of national and natural calamities calling people back to covenant obedience. If we are found declaring the wrong message in light of similar catastrophic events, then even worse events await us in the future.
