Psalms that Curse: A Brief Primer Sean McGowan

The Bible includes prayers such as, "Blessed are those who take your babies and dash them upon the rocks." How in the world could such barbaric language be part of the Bible? Moreover, how could God's holy Word contain an entire genre of cursing psalms, known as "imprecatory psalms"? In this short work, Pastor Sean McGowan explores how to understand these psalms and addresses the question whether these psalms have any place in the church today. Can the church pray and sing these psalms? Can individual Christians pray these kinds of prayers? This book will equip you to answer these difficult questions.
