"In this outstanding book, Kinghorn and Travis thoroughly refute the common misconception that God's wrath competes with God's love. This insightful and illuminating treatment of divine wrath is philosophically astute and biblically informed. It makes a lucid and compelling case that God's wrath is a function of God's love—always motivated by God's concern for the long-term well-being of others." -- John C. Peckham, professor of theology and Christian philosophy, Andrews University, author of The Love of God: A Canonical Model
"In an era that diminishes or altogether dismisses divine wrath and judgment—a phenomenon found even within the church—Kinghorn and Travis have written a much-needed book on the subject. They point out that wrath is not a central attribute of God but is actually an expression of divine love, which is directed toward the well-being and flourishing of humans. The book is thoughtful, wise, and biblically informed. I enthusiastically recommend it!" -- Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University, and coauthor of An Introduction to Biblical Ethics
"The wrath of God looms large over a number of theological doctrines and debates, ranging from the atonement to predestination to hell, and often casts a distorting shadow because it is seen as the counterbalance to divine love. Kinghorn and Travis seamlessly and elegantly marshal a series of scriptural and philosophical arguments, making a powerful case that we should recognize the wrath of God as actually a vivid expression of that very love. This is a paradigm-shifting book that will enable readers to see important elements of Christian theology in a whole new light." -- Jerry L. Walls, scholar in residence/professor of philosophy at Houston Baptist University
