Theodicy of Love: Cosmic Conflict and the Problem of Evil

If God is all powerful and entirely good and loving why is there so much evil in the world? Based on a close canonical reading of Scripture this book offers a new approach to the challenge of reconciling the Christian confession of a loving God with the realities of suffering and evil. John Peckham offers a constructive proposal for a theodicy of love that upholds both the sovereignty of God and human freedom showing that Scripture points toward a framework for thinking about Gods love in relation to the world.
