Description
The existence of evil poses a significant challenge to those who believe in an all-good, all-powerful God. How can we reconcile the presence of evil with the character of God? Scott Christensen offers a biblical, theological, and exegetical response to this conundrum. Christensen examines how sin, evil, corruption, and death fit into the broader narrative of redemptive history. He argues that God's ultimate end in creation is to magnify his glory to his image-bearing creatures, most notably by defeating evil through the atoning work of Christ. In "What about Evil? A Defense of God's Sovereign Glory", Christensen presents a compelling case for understanding evil within the context of God's grand storyline.
