Swinton, John

Raging with Compassion Pastoral Responses to the Problem of Evil John Swinton - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 2007 - 264tr. Paperback, illustration 23 cm

In 'Raging with Compassion', MIchael Ramsey prize-winning author John Swinton argues for a practical theodicy, one embodied in the life and practices of the Christian community. This practicality does not seek to provide an explanation for the existence of evil, but rather presents ways in which evil and suffering can be resisted and transformed. This, he insists, will enable Christians to live faithfully with unanswered questions as they await God's redemption of the whole creation
