Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God?

I don't often think of Johnathan Edwards, but I did the other day. I was reminded of his (in)famous sermon that starts with a quotation from Deuteronomy 32:35 - "Their foot shall slide in due time."

Some friends and I, reading through Psalms, came across another passage, which I think might serve as an interesting intertext/countertext:

"When I said, 'My foot is slipping,' your unfailing love, LORD, supported me." (94:18)

All manner of respect and grace to Johnathan Edwards, but I take great comfort in the hope that his 'angry God' might actually turn out to be more of a gracious and merciful one.

A Few Reviews

I wrote a book review a while back that was recently posted on the Other Journal. The book is Seattle resident Tom Sine's The New Conspirators:

A number of months before that I wrote another one as well, this one on a book about Theology and Music, by theologian and musician Jeremy Begbie:
