Summary: In Christian Understandings of Evil, Charlene P. E. Burns traces the development of the problem of evil in the Christian tradition, from its roots in Second Temple Judaism to contemporary perspectives. Burns begins with a statement of the intractability of the problem, as well as its theological and spiritual stakes: ""Evil is the thorniest of theological problems for a Christian theologian and may well be, as some have claimed, the number one cause of lost faith"" (1).

Burns undertakes a survey of theological responses to the problem of evil over the two-thousand-year span of Christian history...
