Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God by Brian Zahnd

Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God challenges the traditional fear based images of God that have shaped much of Western Christianity and invites readers to rediscover the God revealed in Jesus Christ. Drawing on Scripture, church history, and pastoral insight, Brian Zahnd argues that the violent, wrathful caricatures often attributed to God are distortions of the gospel rather than its heart. The book reframes sin, judgment, and salvation through the lens of divine love, presenting a compelling vision of a God who is relentlessly merciful, nonviolent, and faithful to humanity even in its brokenness. Zahnd offers readers a theologically rich and spiritually healing invitation to trust that God is truly good and that love, not fear, has the final word.
