Can a Loving God Be Wrathful? : An Orthodox Christian Perspective
The chapter titles tell the story of this book: Was the Father of the Prodigal Son Wrathful? Was Jesus' Sacrifice Required to Pacify the Wrath of the Father? Was There a Concept of a Wrathful God in the Early Church? Is God's Wrath an Anthropomorphism? How God's Makrothymia--his long suffering love--Trumps Wrath. We are indeed sinners but not in the hands of an "angry" God, rather of a God who is makrothymos--totally merciful. Popularly written for lay people.
