Good God: Suffering, faith, reason and science
Ebook
How can Christians believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing and loving God whilst there is so much suffering in the world? Contemporary theology books refer to the problem of theodicy as a significant and unresolved problem. Engaging with theology, biblical study, physics and biology, and philosophy and producing a cohesive synthesis of these subjects, Good God offers an answer that has the potential to re-integrate Christian theology with science and philosophy for the first time since the Enlightenment.
Michael Brooks writes with both academic rigour and pastoral sensitivity. As a science and medicine graduate who is also an ordained minister, he makes science and theology comprehensible to those not trained in either discipline.
The book opens the reader to the notion of a wonderful creation that is so full of the miraculous that this is taken for granted. Good God provides an answer to a very important question in a way that edifies faith and offers eternal hope.
