Review
"The subject of evil itself is intriguing, and Bishop Wright keeps our eyes riveted on it. . . . This book's treasures are accessible to any serious reader. There is little in the way of scholarly or critical apparatus, jargon or references to obscure theologians to put one off. Quite the contrary, it reads like an informal speech, given by a knowledgeable individual speaking out of his hard won insights into a most vexing human and theological problem."--Kenneth J. Zanca, Catholic Books Review, http: //catholicbooksreview.org/2007/wright.htm
"Wright should be commended for refocusing us on what we ought to do with evil, rather than discussing how it came to be. . . . His book can be profitable to pastors and theologians interested in reflecting on Biblically responsible ways to minister to an evil stricken and suffering world."--Stephen Vantassel, Evangelical Review of Society and Politics, February 2007
"As always, Wright's arguments are well-conceived and timely; this is a highly recommended read."--Eric Hurtgen, RELEVANT, May/June 2007
"[This book] is an excellent and readable work. The author does not pretend to answer all the philosophical questions that surround this issue, but he does offer some solid insights and encouragement."--MN, Church Libraries, Spring 2007
"This short book is remarkable in its content. . . . It is an opportunity to sit at the feet of a real scholar as he deals with a topic complicated by various philosophies in order to find the truth. . . . This is a book of worth and wisdom that belongs in the church library."--Betty Waller, The Lamplighter, May 2007
"Well written and accessible."--I. Birdwhistell, Georgetown College, CHOICE, May 2007
"With his habitual unparalleled depth and brilliance, Tom Wright offers us in this book new starting points and fruitful paths for relocating and coming to grips with the problem of evil. Along the way he stirs us to fresh commitment to combat evil imaginatively and faithfully. This is a profound book much needed in these times full of catastrophes and conflicts."--Dr. Marva Dawn, theologian, author, educator with "Christians Equipped for Ministry," and Teaching Fellow in Spiritual Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia
"Evil and the Justice of God unravels any skeptic's doubt that a loving God can exist in a world so full of suffering. Tom Wright offers a breathtaking glimpse into the mind and purposes of God . . . and a hope-filled plan for how we can reconcile a broken world with the kingdom to come."--Peggy Wehmeyer, host, World Vision Report
"Wright puts evil in perspective by giving us a powerfully persuasive vision of the 'new heavens and new earth, ' the ultimate reality in which we can already begin to participate. This is a book that every thoughtful Christian should read."--John Wilson, editor, Books & Culture
"The shadow of N. T. Wright looms large over the evangelical horizon. Wright has established himself as the scholar/activist/teacher to a generation of evangelicals. With the publication of Evil and the Justice of God, Wright enters an arena largely occupied by philosophers, and his entrance is timely indeed. With the tragic events of recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the problem of evil, and while philosophical discussions of the problem are helpful, the desperate need has been for a distinctively biblical approach to the topic by someone apt for handling the subject. Evil and the Justice of God stands alone in satisfying this need. From now on, it should be the first work consulted by Christian philosophers and theologians working on the problem of evil, and pastors, laypeople and Christian workers should read and internalize the perspective of the book to insure a distinctively biblical approach in ministering to people in the face of evil."--J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, and coauthor (with Klaus Issler) of The Lost Virtue of Happiness (NavPress)
