Looking for a thoughtful response to evil?
This book offers a considered voice of passionate compassion
You'll be equipped to offer a pastoral response in a fallen world
Anna Hockley
Christian Books Specialist
In "Raging with Compassion", MIchael Ramsey prize-winning author John Swinton argues for a practical theodicy, one embodied in the life and practices of the Christian community. This practicality does not seek to provide an explanation for the existence of evil, but rather presents ways in which evil and suffering can be resisted and transformed.
This, he insists, will enable Christians to live faithfully with unanswered questions as they await God's redemption of the whole creation.
Swinton explores essential practices of redemption - lament, forgiveness, thoughtfulness, hospitality, and friendship - drawing out their implications for the faithful resistance of evil.
Enhanced by case studies from current events and by Swinton's own experience as a pastor and mental health nurse, "Raging with Compassion" seeks to inspire fresh Christian responses and modes of practice in our broken, fallen world.
