Review
John N Day, with his intriguing book, Crying For Justice, has presented a solid case, thoroughly researched and tackles this subject in a scholarly and balanced manner. (
Rev. Austin Miles 20060103)
"In this book Dr. Day methodically examines the scriptural framework for proper Christian response to persecution of God's people that is unremitting and unrepentant. It is a must read for all Christians, as Christians are emerging as the primary target of the extremist cry of 'kill the infidel.' More than five centuries have passed since Christians in the West have personally had to face such an issue, and now it is time to become spiritually prepared. Don't miss this one. It is the definitive modern analysis of the subject." (Customer Reviews

"This is the most careful, balanced, and biblical treatment of this subject available. Day addresses all the current views on imprecations, the objections lodged against them, and provides in-depth exegetical discussions of three representative imprecatory Psalms. It's a valuable and important work on an issue that confuses many Christians." (Customer Reviews

Product Description
Given the widespread violence and terrorism of the twenty-first-century world, should Christians be seeking divine vengeance like that demonstrated in the retribution psalms of David? This book examines the theology of the curses in the Psalms as well as the ancient cultural context and then shows how mercy and vengeance should play out in our current world. (20070701)
