Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God: The Scandalous Truth of the Very Good News

Pastor Brian Zahnd beganÂ "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 isnâ€™t only an interesting look at the context of some modern theological ideas; itâ€™s also offers some profound insight into Godâ€™s love and eternal plan." â€”Relevant Magazine (Named one of the Top 10 Books of 2017)

God is wrath? Or God is Love?

In his famous sermon â€œSinners in the Hands of an Angry God,â€ 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 Edwardsâ€™s wrathful God. Haunted by fear that crippled his relationship with God, Zahnd spent years praying for a divine experience of hell.
Â
What Zahnd experienced instead was the Fatherâ€™s loveâ€”revealed perfectly through Jesus Christâ€”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?
Â
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.
