I am having a hard time searching in logos for relevant articles on the wrath of God. I was looking for scripture references from Genesis to Revelation, demonstrating the wrath of God. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
A Basic Search for wrath BEFORE 1 word God will accomplish this. Perhaps restrict to a collection.
Alternatively, search Entire Library for wrath. The Topic section should provide some results.
Topic suggested search "Wrath of God" OR "Anger of God, the" OR Wrath so changed search to (wrath, anger) BEFORE 1-2 WORDS God
Keep Smiling [:)]
Peace, Blair! And! Joy in the Lord Always!
Wow, you picked quite a topic for yourself. Just the above-mentioned searches (as good as they are! == *smile* ) doen't quite cover all of the aspects of God's "anger" or "displeasure" or "whatever other closely-related word"!
For example, the Day of Wrath. Searching for "Dies Irae" in my whole library comes up with over 130 "hits" ...
Here's one scriptural reference to Day of Wrath: Zephaniah 1.15
"dies irae dies illa dies tribulationis et angustiae dies calamitatis et miseriae dies tenebrarum et caliginis dies nebulae et turbinis"
Blessings on your study! If you end up with a Word document, please consider sharing with us. *smile*
probably shouldn't have posted....
Dave's idea more than covers mine!
I was looking for scripture references from Genesis to Revelation, demonstrating the wrath of God. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
If I want scripture references, I would do three things:
Search in topical bibles (e.g. Nave's). I have a collection for this: title:topic, subject:"bible--indexes"
Thanks for tips - had forgot about my Topical collection [:$] - bit different subject:Bible--Index OR mytag:Topical (remove NAS dictionaries) and added Topical tag to Zondervan Dictionary of Bible Themes:

God, anger of
The punitive and vindicatory reaction, legitimate and controlled, yet awesomely emphatic, of God the righteous judge to unrighteousness in his human creatures. Up to the present, the expression of God’s anger and wrath has had the purpose of drawing sinners to repentance and conversion, but this will not be the case at the final judgment.

It is fearsome Na 1:6 See also Jos 7:26; Eze 38:18
It is reluctant and short-lived Ex 34:6 See also Isa 54:7-8; Ne 9:16-18
It is consistant with his righteous and merciful character Ps 7:11 See also Hab 3:2
It fulfils God’s purposes Jer 23:20 See also Jer 30:24

Ungodly living
God’s judgment against the ungodly is a sign of his anger against actions that contradict his righteous character and purposes: 2Ti 3:1-9; Jude 14-16
Pride, arrogance and hypocrisy Mt 23:27-28 See also 2Ch 32:25; Pr 3:34; 8:13; Isa 13:11; Hos 12:14; Mal 4:1
Complaints against, and opposition to, God’s purposes Nu 11:1 See also Nu 14:27; 21:5
Injustice Zec 7:9-12 See also 2Ch 19:7; Jer 22:13; Eze 9:9; Mal 3:5; Mt 23:23

On a future “day of wrath” which is anticipated Ro 2:5 See also Isa 13:9,13; Eze 7:19; Zep 1:15,18; 2:2
