| Σύνοψη: | This volume is a major contribution on the problem of theodicy. It is the fruit of a lifetime of engagement with the issue from the biblical scholar James Crenshaw, reminiscent of his Whirlpool of Torment (1984) but going beyond it in scope. In this book he establishes his credentials as a theologian of great maturity and yet his biblical scholarship shines through in the discussions of texts that appear in every chapter. He also draws on a rich literary heritage of writers and theologians to illustrate his points. The book is accessible to any or all interested in the intractable problem of the justice of God in a world full of suffering., In each chapter Crenshaw airs a possible response to the problem of evil, exploring biblical or apocryphal texts pertinent to that response. |
