Sinners in the Hands of a Good God is David Clotfelter’s reasoned and personal inquiry into the nature of divine justice. Writing out of his own intense struggle to accept the Bible’s portrait of a just but loving God, Dr. Clotfelter examines biblical teachings on God’s attitude toward sin, his plan to punish the guilty forever, the relationship between grace and faith, the meaning of Christ’s death, the change in status that occurs when we believe, and God’s original purposes in creation.
