The Severity of God
The Severity of God
Author: Paul K. Moser

ISBN: 1107311055
Category : Religion

Book Description
This book explores the role of divine severity in the character and wisdom of God, and the flux and difficulties of human life in relation to divine salvation. Much has been written on problems of evil, but the matter of divine severity has received relatively little attention. Paul K. Moser discusses the function of philosophy, evidence and miracles in approaching God. He argues that if God's aim is to extend without coercion His lasting life to humans, then commitment to that goal could manifest itself in making human life severe, for the sake of encouraging humans to enter into that cooperative good life. In this scenario, divine agapē is conferred as free gift, but the human reception of it includes stress and struggle in the face of conflicting powers and priorities. Moser's work will be of great interest to students of the philosophy of religion, and theology.

Book Description
The Goodness and Severity of God succinctly portrays these two aspects of God’s character and provides an excellent guide for attaining God’s goodness and being spared from His severity. With the love of so many growing cold and deception abounding, it is vital that we be able to determine our standing on God’s pathway of holiness, so that like Daniel, our life would be approved of the Lord and we would stand in our appointed place in heaven for all eternity.
