Why?

A Biblical Explanation for Evil

In this book I want to prove to the reader that the Bible offers a satisfactory answer to the “why” questions many have in relation to an omnipotent but good God in contrast to the rampant heart-breaking evil we see in our world. Many people are fed up with the standard Christian responses on this subject. Though some claim to give Biblical answers to our “why” questions we often receive responses that consign much of God’s alleged activity to “divine mysterious purposes.” I pray that I will be able to answer some of your “why” questions in a satisfactory manner. I believe that the answers I provide here are enough to vindicate God’s goodness and justice in the light of evil. I also believe that this book will help you to see a picture of a loving God who never planned any of this evil and pain. I hope you will see that He is at war with evil, is doing all that He can to rescue us from evil now and who will, in His omnipotence, one day rid this universe of evil forever.
