The Many Faces of Evil (2004)
John S. FeinbergPaperback 2004-05-06
Questions about God and evil can be perplexing, even a source of despair. If God exists, why do children die of leukemia and malnutrition? Why does God allow torture and genocide? Why would a fair God condemn people to eternal suffering? John Feinberg's classic is one of the most significant books ever written on the problem of evil. It shows how the formulation of the problem and the response to it will vary depending on one's understanding of God. Throughout his discussion, Feinberg maintains a vigorous defence of both God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Of special note in this revised and expanded edition is a chapter on the doctrine of hell and the benevolence of God in relation to unending torment.
544 pages, from Crossway.
