Description
Good God offers an answer to one of Christianity's most enduring questions: how can believers reconcile their faith with the existence of suffering in the world.
Michael Brooks, a science and medicine graduate who is also an ordained minister, engages with theology, biblical study, physics, biology, philosophy, and more to provide a cohesive synthesis that has the potential to re-integrate Christian theology with science and philosophy. His approach makes complex ideas comprehensible to those without a background in either discipline.
The book presents a vision of creation as a wonderful, miraculous place where suffering is not seen as incompatible with an all-powerful, all-knowing, and loving God. This perspective aims to edify faith and offer eternal hope, providing a fresh perspective on the problem of theodicy.
