A Defense of the Imprecatory Psalms

How do we harmonize King David’s prayers against his enemies with Jesus’s prayers for his enemies? Are imprecatory prayers unique to the Old Testament? May Christians pray them today? Dr. Bob Gonzales addresses these questions and more in this two lecture series on the imprecatory psalms and prayers of the Old Testament. These lectures are part of the curriculum for ET310 Old Testament Introduction.
