The issue of theodicy has dogged us from the very beginning. The number of those who have asked the question "Why does a loving God allow suffering, and tragedy to continue in the world which he created?" is countless. Eighteenth-century philosopher David Hume reasoned, "Is God willing to prevent evil, but is not able? Then God is impotent. Is God able to prevent evil, but not willing? Then God is malevolent. Is God both able and willing to prevent evil? Whence then is evil?"
In Finding God in Hard Places, Dr. Michael A. Bell turns to the pansophy of Scripture to address this issue of where is God when people experience hurt, pain, trauma and loss. And his starting place is an analysis, not of God, but of ourselves and what we know to be true about the human predicament. This resource challenges you to live boldly by your faith in God's providential care.
