You could make a good case for Obadiah being the least among Bible books—it’s certainly the shortest. It isn’t quoted in the New Testament and, to be honest, it isn’t very quotable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e But, as Andrew Thomson demonstrates throughout this practically applied commentary, we can’t dismiss Obadiah as irrelevant.  It warns about the approaching ‘day of the LORD’, a day that is relevant to us all. Obadiah wants us to live our lives now in light of that day: to be sobered by it, but also to be spurred on by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo Edom that was bad news, but to us it can be good news—the gospel! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Thomson \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri,Calibri; font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\" face=\"Calibri,Calibri\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri,Calibri; font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\" face=\"Calibri,Calibri\"\u003ehas been pastor of Kesgrave Baptist Church, Suffolk, since 2010.
