New Article: Perspectives on the Problem of Evil

A Peer-Reviewed Article for The Evangelical Review of Theology.

I am very pleased to announce the publication of my most recent peer-reviewed paper for The Evangelical Review of Theology, the quarterly journal of the World Evangelical Alliance. Written to introduce leaders in theology to philosophical perspectives on the problem of evil, this paper covers themes of skeptical theism, theodicy, recent pastoral developments, and much more.

It is a great privilege to be able to write for such a global journal, especially considering that the World Evangelical Alliance is the world’s largest organisation of interdenominational Evangelical churches. I hope this article would shed light on important issues in the Christian faith and raise awareness of important philosophical matters to theologians and pastors all around the world. Many thanks to the editorial team for their unwavering support and guidance in the process.

The abstract and introduction from the editor Dr Bruce Barron:

‘If God is good, why did he let this happen?’ is one of the most common challenges to
faith. Although the book of Job suggests that we will not receive a complete answer in
this life, philosophers have made various attempts to reconcile the existence of God
and the evils we experience. This paper summarizes main approaches in readable
fashion and evaluates their usefulness in Christian apologetics.
