A study of the growth of Joshua and Judges illustrates how the
theme of divine anger has been used differently, according to
different historical and social settings. In the deuteronomistic
texts the main reason for God's anger is idolatry, which symbolizes
a totally negative attitude to everything that God has done or
given to the Israelites. This theology of anger is deeply bound to
experiences of national catastrophes or threats of crises, and
reflects the theological enigma of the exile. A century later,
post-deuteronomistic theology gives a wholly different view: the
anger of God becomes an instrument of the power struggles between
the Israelite parties, or is used for protecting existing
leadership.
