The ultimate dilemma
Six outstanding Christian philosophers and theologians have collaborated to prepare this frank, personally revealing encounter with the Devil... Beelzebub... Lucifer... the Prince of Darkness. Actually and more importantly, these noted thinkers have confronted the problem of evil. Their concern is not the personification of evil, i.e., the Devil, but rather the serious intellectual and moral questions and problems that evil presents to religious believers. Why is there so much evil in the world? Why is there suffering and unnecessary death? Why does an all-powerful, loving God allow this? How can we believe in such a God? Each of these writers tackles the horrible paradox of evil, defending his view while subjecting the other views to serious criticism. The result is an illuminating and fascinating look at evil that offers religious believers hope and understanding. A compendium of insight and scholarship. The format features the fruits of argument and confrontation with an important side effect—clarity. This remarkable study comes complete with a helpful summary. |
