Synopsis
This book is a philosophical interrogation of the causes of sin, with particular focus on the concept of predestination and theodicy. Predestination, as discussed in the book, is the idea that all events are predetermined by God, and that human free will is an illusion. Theodicy, as discussed in the book, is the branch of theology concerned with explaining why an all-powerful and all-loving God permits evil to exist. The book takes up a theological position that is distinct from the conventional doctrines of Calvinism, Universalism, and Arminianism, positing instead that moral evil arises from the abuse of moral agency. Engaging with the profound ideas that have shaped the course of human history, this challenging and thought-provoking book will appeal to readers who enjoy wrestling with complex ideas, and who are interested in philosophy, religion, and the nature of good and evil.
