Making Peace with a God of Vengeance

by Donald Roth
…nt category of justice (as I did in the opening of my piece); however, that’s not really true. The wrong must be rectified, the price paid, and then restoration is part of the completion of the process. If we care about the long-term well-being of both victim and perpetrator (esp. the victim), then facilitating reconciliation is an important part of promoting the good in society, but it’s not an alternative to restraining evil and vindicating the…

As I stood, holding my five-year-old son’s hand and waiting for the rest of the lines to be read, I began to imagine what this situation really meant for the Israelites. They were asked to pack a few things that they could carry and leave the only home they had ever known, on foot.

If it’s just concepts like sphere sovereignty, worldview, or structural pluralism that matter today, why go through the extra effort of distilling these concepts from a source that many link to things like apartheid? To go back to abusing my framing metaphor, is it worth distilling vodka from Kuyper?  I don’t think it is.  If the primary…

Grasping this reality means that there will be somethings, like the Trinity, that we can’t understand and take God at his word. Hart refuses to humble himself and allow God to be more complex than himself. Sound hermeneutics (applying the principles of hermeneutics as distilled by Aristotle and Aquinas) applied to the Bible makes it clear that God will punish so…

Daily Scripture Texts Psalm 102:1-17 Exodus 13:17-22 Acts 7:17-40 It is hard to write about sadness and affliction. Our words tend to rationalize, excuse, or evade painful reality; often, they seem to steer us away from the present hurt toward a past memory or a future possibility. When confronted with distress in others, words dry up in our throats. If the words we seek do come out, they sometimes seem awkward or out of place. Thus, the best com…
