About the book
"Responding to the spiritual and theological crisis created by the disaster of 586 BC, Obadiah sought to rekindle the hope of his countrymen with two principal points. First, divine justice will prevail with respect to Israel's kinsmen the Edomites, who had gloated over Judah's fall. YHWH has not been blind to this filial betrayal; as they have treated the people of Judah, so they will be treated. Second, divine fidelity will prevail with respect to descendants of Jacob themselves, presently dispersed among the nations and divorced from their homeland. YHWH had not forgotten his covenant people or his promises to Israel's ancestors."--Publisher.
