Walter Cardinal Kasper has written, "It is time, it is the right time, to speak of God." This book invites readers to use their God-given ability to work through important questions that many people have about God today: Why is God so angry in the Bible?

By exploring the Bible's answers to these and other biblical questions, people can come to understand better their living and loving God.
