Synopsis

Reconciling the existence of God and evil has been a long-standing conundrum in Christian theology, yet a philosophical approach—rather than a theological one—dominates the discussion. Turning to the Bible's grand storyline, Scott Christensen examines how sin, evil, corruption, and death fit into the broad outlines of redemptive history. He argues that God's ultimate end in creation is to magnify his glory to his image-bearers, most notably by defeating evil through the atoning work of Christ.

Goodreads review by Pat on March 23, 2024

Depths of God’s sovereignty I had not considered before to this magnitude and I’m left like Job with my mouth shut and feet on the solid ground of my Savior because where else can I go for the truth. Parts beyond my depth so hope to explore in hard copy. Not for the faint of heart but a blessing to......more

Goodreads review by Brenden on March 30, 2024

Undoubtedly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Top 10, easily. Maybe top five. One of the best journeys I’ve taken with undivinely-inspired words on a page. A wide sweeping range of theological depth that covers everything from Freewill, God’s sovereignty, sin, philosophy, literature, impassibilit......more
