The Jealous God
Commentary
Most of us are convinced that jealousy is not a Christian or godly virtue so we are a bit put off, even offended, when we hear God claims to be jealous. It appears we need to do some careful thinking about this word jealous.
Generally we use the word in its pejorative sense and think of green-eyed monsters, angry boyfriends or girlfriends, jealous wives and husbands, and the like.
