God in the Teeth of Suffering (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788184655889)

Product Description: Disease. Violence. Disaster. Death. And what more? Can God be affirmed in the midst of them all? Discontent with the traditional answers given to the problem of suffering, the author takes the problem of suffering, which he encounters in his everyday medical practice, and lays it on the doorsteps of theology and philosophy, demanding answers from both of them. God in the Teeth of Suffering takes you on a ground-breaking journey to discover God in the middle of suffering. Mining materials from leading scholars in the fields of theology and philosophy, the book builds itself from the down up, until the towering truth is revealed in the crucified Christ. Having surveyed the vast literature about the question of God and suffering, the author breaks barriers so as to offer his own fresh approach to the problem of suffering by what he calls The Garden Theodicy. In this book, you will get hard-hitting answers to: 1. Can God and evil co-exist? 2. Is evil evidence against or for God? 3. What do Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam say about the problem of evil? 4. Can Christianity offer a fresh revision of God and suffering? 5. How can we live in a world that is saturated with suffering? "This book is the result of thorough going research, careful analysis and creative proposal." -Rev. Dr. M. Thomas Thangaraj Retired Presbyter, Church of South India.
