What About Evil Summary

Along with the answer to the question, “What about evil?”, at the beginning of the book; Scott Christensen also gives us a What About Evil summary of the book too. Here is the chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the book with just a small take on what’s included.

Within the book, we get a history lesson is why and when humanity really started to ask the question, “What about evil?”. From there we will be drilling into defining our terms and establishing the parameters for an answer. We’ll take a look at the six common solutions Christians give to explain evil as well as Christensen’s answer. We of course will be delving into Scripture to see who is God, who is Jesus is, why redemption and meta-narratives are important in the discussion, and the implications of everything.

And now you see the reason for the length of the book!
