9780227180112: Evil and the Problem of Jesus

Synopsis

Approaching the problem of evil from an alternative angle, Evil and the Problem of Jesus offers a Christ-centred approach as an antidote to traditional theodicy. Gary Commins' discussion provides original insights into divine power, presence, and love, allowing readers to reengage with the God whom Jesus reveals and the evil that Jesus challenges. In this study, Jesus stands as a model for full humanity, crafting new ways to imagine personal relationships with God and with evil. Evil and the Problem of Jesus draws on pastoral experiences of tragedy, suffering, and evil alongside philosophical and biblical insights and Jesus' own complex interactions with evil. Commins offers thoughtful conceptual frameworks to help the reader live more faithfully, compassionately, wisely and justly in response to evils around us and within us.
