Vengeance is Mine«
Modern readers of the Bible often find it difficult to reconcile divine vengeance with God's identification as love (1 John 4:8). What does divine vengeance mean, and how does it function in the New Testament? This is the central question Arjan van den Os addresses in this first extensive monograph on the topic, analysing relevant texts and offering a comprehensive theology of divine vengeance in all its variations and uses. He draws on Greco-Rom…
Doing as the elect do
Matthew 7:21 is an exegetically challenging verse: it provides a complex formulation of Matthew’s election theology.

Entrance into the kingdom of God is a divine gift…

The aim of this article is to show that 2 Kings 18–19 functions as a background to the death of Herod. There are several co…

In these texts, the author of Hebrews warns the addressees that they may not tarnish their Christ-given identity through apostasy and leaving the Christ-believing community. One of the literary motifs the author uses is the motif of divine vengeance in Hebrews 10:30. This paper will show how the author uses this motif as a way to prevent the addressees, as children of God's…
