“A good deal depends upon our conception of the place and nature of the wrath of God”

Leon Morris:

A good deal depends upon our conception of the place and nature of the wrath of God.  If this is regarded as a very real factor so that the sinner is exposed to its severity, then the removal of the wrath will be an important part of our understanding of salvation; whereas if we diminish the part played by the divine wrath we shall not find it necessary to think seriously of propitiation.”
