Joy and the Problem of Evil

by Rick Howe

“Joy fits in a world created and governed by a benevolent, wise, all-powerful God. There are good reasons to believe that such a God exists. But our world also features pain, suffering, and a troubling array of moral evil. No discussion of joy is complete without coming to grips with these stubborn facts. There can be no happily-ever-after ending to the story unless joy meets these foes on a field of battle and survives the ordeal.” – From Joy and the Problem of Evil Joy and the Problem of Evil is the final section of Reasons of the Joy and the Rationality of Faith. It includes the following 1 A Tale Worth Telling, A Story Worth Defending 2 Lay of the Land and First Divine Omnipotence 3 Second Divine Goodness 4 This World and the A Theodicy 5 Joy and the Kingdom of God
