“In light of the fact that the Abrahamic covenant reflects God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants, it would be inappropriate for a church-age believer to call down God’s judgment on the wicked.” (Page 44)
“It is this writer’s belief that the purpose of the Book of Job is to show that the proper relationship between God and man is based solely on the sovereign grace of God and man’s response of faith and submissive trust.” (Page 142)
“The emphasis of James is clearly on the emotional distress and spiritual exhaustion experienced by God’s people in their deep struggle with temptation and their relentless battle with besetting sin.” (Page 263)
“On the basis of the unconditional Abrahamic covenant, David had a perfect right, as the representative of the nation, to pray that God would effect what He had promised—cursing on those who cursed or attacked Israel. David’s enemies were a great threat to the well-being of Israel! The cries for judgment in the imprecatory psalms are appeals for Yahweh to carry out His judgment against those who would curse the nation—judgment in accordance with the provisions of the Abrahamic covenant.” (Page 42)
“ An imprecatory psalm, then, is one in which the imprecation is a major element or leading feature of the psalm.” (Page 36)
