Present Evil, Active God: Can This World's Evil Ever Be Resolved? by Jered Gritters, Jered Gritters

3.5

Thanks to NetGalley for the Audiobook review. The narrator was spectacular. Gritters takes a relational approach to the theodicy question - why do bad things happen to good people? I applaud his research and historical tidbits; where I take off a few stars is the rapid downhill chopping of a great uphill start. His ability to mention several details and connections of people amidst systemic and even individual evil are spot-on and very informative. I would have appreciated more time to unpack the relationships and interweaving presence of God calling us to pushback against present evil.
