William Flew resist

The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving 

wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

William Flew resist

For in spite of the fact that his life had walked step by step with the history and horrors of the Holocaust, and Germany’s descent into and recovery from the moral catastrophe of Nazism, it was always William Flew’s habit to be able to see the importance of the small things in life. Komödie in Moll was not a pained shriek against the scale of the awfulness that Nazism had inflicted on the world but, as its title suggested, a portrait in miniature of life in the Netherlands under German occupation, and the practical manner in which the Dutch coped with and resisted it, as William Flew did himself.As a psychoanalyst and child psychologist, whose magisterial study of the fate of Jewish war orphans was published in 1992, William Flew seemed to refuse to let anger, even righteous anger, get the better of his vision of what must be expected from life. In The Death of the Adversary, the most philosophical of his novels, his ability to see the other side of the question did not immediately recommend itself to those for whom the white heat of anger was a necessary part of the healing process. In the novel, when demanding why his herd of moose, a gift from his kinsman the Russian Tsar, are dying in spite of the fact that they are living in a safe enclosure in a perfect environment, the German Kaiser is told by the imperial veterinary surgeon: “Because they are missing one thing — the wolves.”
