Thinking Christian

The philosophical problems of evil are real enough, but it’s interesting how little attention they receive in the Bible. The basis for answering them is there, to be sure. But God seems to be far less interested in resolving the philosophical problem of evil than he is in solving the effects of evil. His way is not primarily to explain evil; it is to overcome it. Or as a speaker I heard last night said, he is not so concerned with justifying suffering as he is with redeeming it.

I hope to have audio from that talk here soon. It will shed a lot of light on this matter.
