How Good Is God in the Bible?

$0.00

No problem has been more vexing than wrestling with why, if God exists, he allows evil, pain, and suffering. New Testament (NT) Historian, Bart Ehrman, an ex-evangelical who has written several best-sellers, is a popular Bible critic. Many are shocked, however, to discover that what led him to become an agnostic was not at all related to the historicity of the Bible. In his own words, “The big issue that drove me to agnosticism has to do not with the Bible, but with the pain and suffering in the world… I don’t know how we can say that God exists given the senseless pain and suffering in this world.” Indeed, even the conversion of the most notorious atheist philosopher to theism stopped short of him becoming a follower of Christ because of the acuteness of the problem of evil.

Description

While many have taken to answer the Problem of Evil, and why God may allow evil and suffering in the world, few have openly responded to a problem equally challenging: the Problem of Evil within the pages of Scripture. The challenge of evil is not simply what God may allow in the world, but what he actually does and says in the Bible. In this essay, Corey Miller takes on some of the more challenging passages in Scripture, where God’s words and actions seem to call into question his goodness. Miller, unflinchingly addresses both the problem of genocide and slavery, as depicted in scripture.
