Who was Nahum?
Nahum is the prophet named in a book about Nineveh. Its poetry addresses the downfall of an oppressive power. The violent imagery needs careful historical explanation and should not become a way to frighten children.
Nahum describes God as a stronghold in trouble. Read alongside the book's concern with oppression, this gives a way to discuss protection without celebrating suffering.
