Incomprehensible Wrath and Suffering
Outlaw God
Dr. Paulson discusses the need for preachers to preach in a world that experiences suffering and war. That is, for the comfort of souls, preaching often requires an address to specific and particular problems in our world.

God Clothed or Unclothed
Outlaw God
No one can genuinely avoid God. Thus, we don't ask if someone has found or possesses God but whether or not one has God clothed in Christ. To have God unclothed is to be solely an object of the Law and wrath, while to possess God in Christ means that the full force of God's power is for you and your redemption.
