Synopsis

This book explores the challenges of existence in the contemporary world within the Christian framework through the lens of the author's personal experiences. It explores the concept of freedom of will through the lens of theodicy - the problem of evil in the world. The author searches for theological justifications for an omnipotent God who is the source of good yet permits evil in the world. The author ultimately argues that through faith in Christ, and their own free will, human beings are not simply victims of circumstances but active participants in history. They can, if they choose to exercise it, find purpose in living and act within creation for good. This book is a personal but also deeply theological reflection on the Christian life that can inspire readers to explore their own relationship with God and world.
