Why Is There Evil in the World (and So Much of It?)
Greg Welty
New Series: The Big Ten – Critical Questions Answered
One of the most common attacks against Christianity
Shows the grace of God’s soveriegnty
Many people argue that the presence of evil in the world is proof that God cannot exist, or if He does exist, cannot be good or all–powerful.Greg Welty uses biblical exegesis alongside his experience as a philosopher to present a different conclusion. God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the world, really does work all things for good. A must–read for anyone struggling with this issue.

Welty tackles the question well with balance, biblical faithfulness, and helpful insights.... I was personally edified by this work and I am glad to commend it.

Deep enough for philosophers and accessible enough for the person in the pew, this volume provides reassurance that God really does work all things for good.

Clear, logical, precise, and yet accessible ... Welty does not offer nonbiblical explanations for our world's pain and suffering. He gives Scripture's response.
