Overview

Control your temper, now. Count to ten. Go cool off. Don’t blow a gasket. Take an anger management class, you hothead! Obviously, anger is the black sheep in the family of emotions. How many books, seminars, and sermons teach ways to put the clamp on anger? What if anger was intended to be a positive thing?

In her CHRISTIANITY TODAY essay “To Russia with Fury,” Agnieszka Tennant describes an event that causes “the kind of anger God stirs up so that we would defy evil.” A righteous anger. How does this emotion reflect the heart of God? How could it affect social change? And what keeps it from going overboard? This study will discuss these questions.
