Many people argue that the presence of evil in the world is proof that God cannot exist, or if He does exist, cannot be good or all–powerful.

Greg Welty uses biblical exegesis alongside his experience as a philosopher to present a different conclusion. God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the world, really does work all things for good. A must–read for anyone struggling with this issue.

Chapter titles include:

    1. What is the Problem of Evil?
    1. The Greater–Good Theodicy: A Threefold Argument for Three Biblical Themes
    1. Licensing the Greater–Good Theodicy: God's Sovereignty over Evil
    1. Limiting the Greater–Good Theodicy: The Inscrutability of God's Purposes
    1. Can Free Will or the Laws of Nature Solve the Problem of Evil?
    1. Objections
  • Appendix: Going Beyond Job, Joseph and Jesus for the Greater–Good Theodicy

The Big Ten: Critical Questions Answered is a Christian apologetics series which addresses ten commonly asked questions about God, the Bible, and Christianity. Each book, while easy to read, is challenging and thought–provoking, dealing with subjects ranging from hell to science. A good read whatever your present opinions. The first two titles in the series are:

  • Does Christianity Really Work? by Williams Edgar
  • Why Should I Believe Christianity? by James N. Anderson
Why Is There Evil in the World (and So Much of It?) and Alvin Plantinga

    Well written in an easy to understand style. Doesn't try to hide truth but deals with "hard" passages in an honest and clear way.
