First sentence: If you have suffered or ministered to someone who has and you are interested in what Scripture says, I offer this book to you.
Description: Evil in Scripture denotes both suffering and behavior that causes it.  Anger often follows suffering.  Anger at people is condemned, but anger at God is accepted because biblical faith portrays God as inflicting evil.  This faith calls for an understanding of language about God acting and a biblical theodicy revealing God’s goodness; both are provided.  Portrayals of God as inflicting evil do not deny that, factually, humans inflict it, so the witness about human sin is included.  Final chapters offer biblical deliverances from evil.
