Description: The author looks at a number of instances of anger in the Bible. She studies Jacobs struggles with the angel, Job's reaction to his many tribulations, and Jesus' reminder that he did not come to bring only peace. Basset shows how anger and violence form part of our complex understanding and experience of God. She presents and interprets key moments of "holy" anger in the Bible, and shows how this anger can result in human goodness and growth. --P. 4 of cover.
