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</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John Swinton</note> <subject> <topic>Theodicy</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Theology, Practical</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Good and evil -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">231.8</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S979-J65</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802829979</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14872/812knlm7lol-sl1500.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14872/812knlm7lol-sl1500.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071420.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
