But what about God's wrath? : the compelling love story of divine anger / [print] Kevin Kinghorn with Stephen Travis. - Downers Grove, Illinois : IVP Academic, (c)2019. - 157 pages ; 23 cm

Includes bibliographies and index.

Wrath as a pattern of action -- The Trinity as benevolent by nature -- Does love always seek our flourishing? -- Love in relation to justice, holiness, and glory -- Wrath as God pressing the truth on us -- Truth as God's response to sin and self-deception -- The pain of truth as our greatest pain -- The connection between wrath and sanctification.

"How can a loving God also be a God of wrath? 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 can be reconciled. Instead of assuming that God's just response to people is incompatible with a loving response, the authors instead view God's love as a strictly essential divine attribute, with justice as a derivative of love"--
