Key to the anathema is that God produces the evil as well as the good works.
We would agree that God is not the author of evil. Practically, that just means that He uses secondary means to manipulate the evil already present in the world for His holy purposes. He gave Satan permission to reign all sorts of evil on Job. He hardened Pharoh's heart to inflict all manner of evil on the Hebrews. Note that God didn't manufacture the evil in Satan or Pharoh; He merely unleashed it.
