What is God Like? History of the Debate in America
The Character of God on Trial
What is God like? Is God a wrathful deity? Can He be charged with evil? How did the doctrine of predestination affect how American Protestants thought about the character of God?
The Protestant Reformation accomplished much in restoring Biblical truth to the world. But these truths were met with opposition and persecution. Fleeing Protestants carried their beliefs to North America where God continued to correct doctrinal errors and guide His people toward greater truth.

Veith looks at such doctrines as predestination, grace and the law of God and how our understanding of these issues affects our views of God. See why this is a vital, life-and-death issue.
