Burns  aMinneapolis :bFortress Press,cc2016.  axi, 218 pages ;c22 cm.1 aChristian understandings  aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 205-218).  aThroughout the two-thousand-year span of Christian history, believers in Jesus have sought to articulate their faith and their understanding of how God works in the world. How do we, as we examine the vast and varied output of those who came before us, understand the unity and the diversity of their thinking? How do we make sense of our own thought in light of theirs? The Christian Understandings series offers to help. In this exciting volume, Charlene Burns offers a brief but thorough tour through more than two millennia of thought on the nature of evil. Starting with the contexts of the Hebrew Bible and moving forward, Burns outlines the many ways that Christian thought has attempted to deal with the reality of evil and suffering. From a personal Satan and demonic activity, to questions of free will and autonomy, to the nature of God and Gods role in suffering, Burns offers a clear and compelling overview-- 0aGood and evilxReligious aspectsxChristianity 0aTheodicyxHistory of doctrines 0aGood and evilxPhilosophy 0aChristian understandings.  a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccLL  c17201d17201  00102lcc4070aUOEbUOEcGENd2021-12-06oBJ1401 .B87 2016p20158151r2026-04-27 11:21:18t20158151w2021-12-06yLL
