What Shall We Say?: Evil, Suffering, And The Crisis Of Faith

Tsunamis, earthquakes, famines, diseases, wars -- these and other devastating forces lead Christians to ask painful questions. Is God all-powerful? Is God good? How can God allow so much innocent human suffering? These questions, taken together, have been called the "theodicy problem," and in this book Thomas Long explores what preachers can and should say in response ... he offers biblically based approaches to preaching on theodicy, guided by Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares and the "greatest theodicy text in Scripture"--The book of Job. - from book jacket. 9780802871398 0802871399 172 BOOK Religion NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=-t8fAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
