Summary
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. - Cover.

Formatted Contents Note
PART I. Fear of confrontation. Anger censured
Fury and complaint, on a par with pain
Instead of murder, a violence that speaks the truth

The unusual detail
From Jacob-Heel to Jacob the Confronter
Who is the OTHER?
PART III. For the sword to pass. "Do not think that I have come to bring peace!"
What is holy anger?
A balanced look at those who are "violent"
To bring forth blessing.
