Book Description
While it is evil that tortures human bodies, it is the problem of evil that torments the human mind. . . . It resists our unremitting efforts to understand it. So begins Henri Blocher's investigation of the question that has troubled people for centuries. Christian philosophers and theologians have proposed numerous solutions to the problem of evil. Blocher classifies the principal approaches and solutions that have been hammered out, and he sympathetically explains the proposals and most of their typical representatives. But when he holds them up to the light of facts, reason and Scripture, Blocher finds none of these solutions adequate.Evil-that horrific, unjustifiable reality, is at bottom a dark and inscrutable enigma, a parasite of truth. Blocher finds the only satisfying response in the cross of Jesus Christ. There the offense of evil is in no way diminished by plausible argument. It is conquered in a moving and breathtaking play of divine wisdom. Originally published in French, Evil and the Cross is a profound grappling with a basic human question.Henri Blocher is professor of systematic theology at the Faculte Libre de Theologie Evangelique in Vaux-sur-Seine, France.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292

Book Description
Renowned pastor-theologian Gregory A. Boyd tackles the BibleÕs biggest dilemma. Ê The Old Testament God of wrath and violence versus the New Testament God of love and peaceÑitÕs a difference that has troubled Christians since the first century. Now, with the sensitivity of a pastor and the intellect of a theologian, Gregory A. Boyd proposes the Òcruciform hermeneutic,Ó a way to read the Old Testament portraits of God through the lens of JesusÕ crucifixion. Ê In Cross Vision, Boyd follows up on his epic and groundbreaking study, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God. He shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus reframes the troubling violence of the Old Testament, how all of Scripture reveals GodÕs self-sacrificial love, and, most importantly, how we can follow JesusÕ example of peace.
