The Complexity of Divine and Human Anger

This chapter examines the theme of rage in ancient religious texts, particularly through the lens of the God of the Hebrew Bible. It contrasts the early depictions of divine anger with a more compassionate portrayal in the book of Jonah, suggesting an evolution of divine characteristics over time. The discussion expands to explore the nuanced experiences of anger in literature and life, emphasizing the need to engage with and understand anger constructively rather than suppress it.
