Theodicy attempts to resolve how a good God and evil world can coexist. The neo-atheist view in this debate has dominated recent bestseller lists through books like *The God Delusion* (Richard Dawkins), *God Is Not Great* (Christopher Hitchens), and *The End of Faith* (Samuel Harris). And their popularity illuminates a changing mental environment wherein people are asking harder questions about divine goodness. Surprisingly, these books please intelligent design champion William Dembski, because "They would be unnecessary if Christianity were not again a live issue."
Entering the conversation, Dembski's provocative *The End of Christianity* embraces the challenge to formulate a theodicy that is both faithful to Christian orthodoxy and credible to the new mental environment. He writes to make peace with three claims: (1) God by wisdom created the world out of nothing. (2) God exercises particular providence in the world. (3) All evil in the world ultimately traces back to human sin. In the process, Dembski brings the reader to a fresh understanding of what "the end (result) of Christianity" really means: the radical realignment of our thinking so that we see God's goodness in creation despite the distorting effects of sin in our hearts and evil in the world.

Dembski puts forth a framework for working through the good old """"good God, evil world?"""" conundrum that has railroaded some of the greatest minds, all while being faithful to a classic interpretation of scripture and being scientifically sound. A great read, encouraging and equipping, and easy to handle for the layperson.
