Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God
The Scandalous Truth of the Very Good News
Book • 2017
In this book, Brian Zahnd counters the 18th-century sermon 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' by Jonathan Edwards, instead portraying God as a loving and merciful deity.
Zahnd discusses topics such as the nature of God, the meaning of Jesus' crucifixion, and the doctrine of hell, arguing that God's love is the central message of the Gospel.
He critiques traditional atonement theories that depict God as bloodthirsty and retributive, emphasizing instead that Jesus' death was an act of divine forgiveness and love.
The book also explores the Book of Revelation, interpreting it as a message of God's victory through self-giving love rather than violence and vengeance.
