Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God: The Scandalous Truth of the Very Good News by Brian Zahnd
Pastor Brian Zahnd began"to question the theology of a wrathful God who delights in punishing sinners, and has started to explore the real nature of Jesus and His Father. The book isn't only an interesting look at the context of some modern theological ideas; it's also offers some profound insight into God's love and eternal plan." -Relevant Magazine (Named one of the Top 10 Books of 2017)God is wrath? Or God is Love?
In his famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Puritan revivalist Jonathan Edwards shaped predominating American theology with a vision of God as angry, violent, and retributive. Three centuries later, Brian Zahnd was both mesmerized and terrified by Edwards's wrathful God. Haunted by fear that crippled his relationship with God, Zahnd spent years praying for a divine experience of hell.
What Zahnd experienced instead was the Father's love-revealed perfectly through Jesus Christ-for all prodigal sons and daughters.
In Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Zahnd asks important questions like- Is seeing God primarily as wrathful towards sinners true or biblical? Is fearing God a normal expected behavior? And where might the natural implications of this theological framework lead us?
Thoughtfully wrestling with subjects like Old Testament genocide, the crucifixion of Jesus, eternal punishment in hell, and the final judgment in Revelation, Zanhd maintains that the summit of divine revelation for sinners is not God is wrath, but God is love.
Word of Life Church was founded by Brian Zahnd in St. Louis. He has been the main pastor of a church committed to authentic presentation of Jesus Christ in the twenty-first century since he moved to Joseph, Missouri over 35 years ago. Water to Wine, A Farewell to Mars, Beauty Will Save the Planet, and Unconditional? are among his works. @BrianZahnd @BrianZahnd @BrianZahnd @BrianZ
