Is God To Blame?

This is often the question that comes to mind when we confront real suffering in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Pastor Gregory A. Boyd helps us deal with this question honestly and biblically, while avoiding glib answers. Writing for ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestles with a variety of answers that have been offered by theologians and pastors in the past. He finds that a fully Christian approach must keep the person and work of Jesus Christ at the very center of what we say about human suffering and God's place in it. Yet this is often just what is missing and what makes so much talk about the subject seem inadequate and at times even misleading. What comes through in Is God to Blame? is a hopeful picture of a sovereign God who is relentlessly opposed to evil, who knows our sufferings and who can be trusted to bring us through them to renewed life. "In this stimulating work, Gregory Boyd shows how an incarmational theology focuses on God's action in Jesus Christ as the source for our knowledge of God. in Jesus we see what God does for us, how God loves us, how God feels for us and how God rescuues creatures and creation. This work restores an ancient view of Christianity that emphasizes the freedom we have to enter into a joyous relationship with God- a worlkview of hope for all of humanity." ''Robert Webber, Meyers Professor of Ministy, Northern Seminary, Lonbard, Illinois'' "In this new book from the pen of pastor-theologian Greg Boyd, we discover an answer to one of life's most difficult questions: If God is good, who do bad things happen? Boyd advances a radical notion: human history is a battle between God and Satan. We are part of this struggle, and what the future holds is (in part) up to us. Things are not all fixed from eternity. Agree or disagree, Boyd makes Christian faith exciting. I recommend this book to thoughtful Christians everywhere." ''Alan G. Padgett, Professor of Systematic Theology, Luther Seminary'' "Greg Boyd addresses what may be the single most asked question among skeptics and seekers. many without Christ are still waiting for us to respond with an intelligent answer. Greg provides an apologetic that actually makes sense about an iddue that really matters!" ''Erwin Raphael McManus, Lead Pastor, Mosaic, Los Angeles'' ''About the Author'' ''Gregory A.
