Resolving the Problem of Evil: A Formally Reasoned Theodicy presents a step-by-step, analytic pathway that invites rigorous evaluation. Each definition is explicit, each inference is shown, and every conclusion is grounded in Scripture (Sola Scriptura) while remaining in broad continuity with the Christian philosophical tradition.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• A logically consistent theodicy demonstrating how a perfectly good and all-powerful God can coexist with real, pervasive evil and suffering—without weakening either divine goodness or power.
• Sharp distinctions between the logical and evidential problems of evil, including focused treatments of moral evil, natural evil, and so-called “gratuitous” evil.
• A precise map of core concepts—evil, harm, suffering, permission, causation—so debates don’t collapse into equivocation.
• How classical and contemporary responses (privation accounts, soul-making, greater-good reasoning, and more) integrate into a unified, testable framework.
• Biblically reasoned conclusions that cohere with God’s unwavering goodness across the canon, with careful attention to key passages and doctrinal implications.
• Analytically transparent arguments you can follow line by line—open to acceptance or refutation strictly on the merits.

THE “FIVE OBLIGATIONS” FRAMEWORK (GUIDING PRINCIPLES)

1. Define evil (moral, natural, and suffering-related) in its fullest, most precise sense.
2. Define God’s omnibenevolence and omnipotence in their fullest, absolute sense.
3. Employ formal logic and analytic philosophy to keep the reasoning clear, transparent, and testable.
4. Show broad consistency with the historic Christian philosophical tradition (no radical novelty for novelty’s sake).
5. Remain completely faithful to Scripture—Sola Scriptura governs both premises and conclusions.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR (ADVANCED READERS)

• Professors and graduate students in Christian theology, analytic philosophy of religion, and biblical studies.
• Seminary faculty and doctoral candidates researching divine goodness, providence, suffering, and theodicy.
• Formally trained pastors and theologians with academic backgrounds seeking a rigorously argued, Scripture-anchored framework.
• Christian philosophers and apologists who work with formal logic and want line-by-line, analytically transparent arguments.
• Research-minded readers in adjacent disciplines (philosophy, religious studies, and logic) comfortable with technical argumentation.

Note: This text presumes familiarity with formal logic, classical theodicy, and analytic philosophy of religion.

If you’re ready to move beyond either/or compromises and see how God’s perfect goodness coheres with the existence of evil without contradiction, this book provides the clarity you’ve been missing.
