Book Details
We believe in a God all powerful and all loving. Yet we hurt and see evil and suffering all around. Why?
This book boldly addresses the question raised above. A theology of hope is presented with specific discussion of the subjects of evil and suffering as well as God’s purpose in creating humanity and promising life in eternity. A key element of the book is hospitality toward all beliefs while wrestling with the questions. The intended audience is the thoughtful lay person. References and footnotes are provided for scholarship.
