But What About God's Wrath?

<P><B>How can a loving God also be a God of wrath?</B></P><P>God's wrath stands out in the minds of many as the single most puzzling aspect of God's character. Often Christians who would like to reconcile divine love with divine wrath-while remaining faithful to the Bible-can't figure out how to do so. Kevin Kinghorn and Stephen Travis offer a way forward.</P><P>Using a philosophically informed line of argument and a careful study of the relevant biblical texts Kinghorn and Travis show how these two aspects of God's character <I>can</I> be reconciled. Often God's wrath is viewed as an expression of holiness or justice with the implicit assumption that God's <I>just</I> response to people is incompatible with a <I>loving</I> response. The authors instead view God's love as a strictly essential divine attribute with justice as a derivative of love.</P><P><I>But What About God's Wrath?</I> will appeal to Christians eager to engage this puzzle more deeply more philosophically and more biblically beyond pat answers and devotional platitudes.</P>
