Synopsis

“Joy fits in a world created and governed by a benevolent, wise, all-powerful God. There are good reasons to believe that such a God exists. But our world also features pain, suffering, and a troubling array of moral evil. No discussion of joy is complete without coming to grips with these stubborn facts. There can be no happily-ever-after ending to the story unless joy meets these foes on a field of battle and survives the ordeal.” – From Joy and the Problem of Evil Joy and the Problem of Evil is the final section of Reasons of the Heart: Joy and the Rationality of Faith. It includes the following chapters: 1 A Tale Worth Telling, A Story Worth Defending 2 Lay of the Land and First Defense: Divine Omnipotence 3 Second Defense: Divine Goodness 4 This World and the Next: A Theodicy 5 Joy and the Kingdom of God
