Summary: thought provoking and profound, a book to be read slowly
Review: Few people have explored more profoundly than John Stackhouse an answer to one of life's most puzzling and uneasy questions. Through biblical, historical, and cultural analysis, the author articulates his positions in fresh, compelling language. Stackhouse wears his scholarship lightly. His lucid style and examples make the book accessible to general readers and professional theologians alike. One of the unexpected highlights of the book for me was his re-telling of the Story Line of the Bible (p. 104ff). Only as we understand what God has been doing from the beginning can we begin to make sense of the sorrow and pain in our world today.

Summary: Alternatives?
Review: Without giving my criticisms on this book, I would recommend two other ones, so that readers can make up their own minds:1) Gordon Clark, God and Evil -- search the web for "trinity foundation". 2) Vincent Cheung, The Light of Mind -- FREE for download; search the web for "vincent cheung". In fact, I recommend all the books by the above two authors.
