Hardback. Zustand: Fair. How can a supposedly all-powerful and all-loving God permit evil and suffering on a grand scale?The question has assailed people across cultures at least as far back as the biblical Book of Job. To sceptics, it forms clinching evidence that all talk of providence is childish -- or even a dangerous delusion. Writing clearly and concisely but avoiding simplistic answers, Rupert Shortt argues that belief in a divine Creator is intellectually robust, despite apparent signs to the contrary. Having cleared the ground, he goes on to show how a Christian understanding, in particular, points the way forward through terrain where raw feeling, intellectual inquiry and the toughest trials of the spirit often overlap.The Hardest Problem takes its place alongside the work of C. S. Lewis as an essential guide to one of life's deepest dilemmas for a new generation of readers. Artikel-Nr. 00100345313

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To many,the problem of evil and suffering constitutes by far the most serious objection to mainstream religious belief. For all its starkness and salience,though,the dilemma is also widely misinterpreted. That visceral feelings often dominate discussion is understandable on one level. But this can displace the clearer-headed thinking needed to shed greater light on the subject. In this brief but broad-ranging book,Rupert Shortt shows that belief in a divine Creator is much more coherent intellectually than many sceptics suppose. Basic misconceptions about core aspects of Judaism,Christianity and Islam can in turn spawn still greater caricatures of subjects including divine power. Having cleared the ground,Shortt goes on to discuss the nature of evil from a classical Abrahamic standpoint and how Christian resources in particular offer guidance in an area where raw emotion,conceptual thought and the deepest trials of the spirit overlap. If the dilemma has no clear solution,that need not discredit sensitive and creative ways of grappling with it.The Hardest Problemis an accessible contemporary reflection on the perennial question of human suffering.
