Leon Morris: God's wrath is consistent, not capricious — a divine reaction to evil
Mike cites Leon Morris's scholarly study of God's wrath in the Old Testament.
Leon Morris in 'The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross' surveys over 20 Hebrew words for wrath and concludes that God's anger is the 'stern reaction of the divine nature towards evil,' aroused only and inevitably by sin — never a tantrum. This contrasts with caricatures from progressive Christians and atheists who portray God as merely irritated, like a pagan deity killing people because they are noisy.
