Publisher's Synopsis
If God is all-good, all-knowing and all-powerful, then why is there so much evil and suffering in the world? To tackle this provocative issue, author Stephen Vicchio undertakes a deep study of evil and suffering as presented in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. This study also provides historical context, summarizing eight major responses in the history of Biblical materials to the problem of evil and suffering. Of particular interest is Vicchio's analysis of how the concept of evil and suffering has unfolded in the books of the Bible. "Evil and Suffering in the Bible" is a seminal work of Biblical scholarship that provides deep insights about these thorny issues during the Corona Virus Pandemic, a time in which we desperately crave answers.
