After coming to a close on my first paper (Snatched: The Glory & Beauty of God in the Doctrine of Election), I am going to begin research for the next one. The paper is going to try to answer the following question:
How can a good and loving God allow so much evil and suffering in the world?
Out of all the questions that I have heard from Christians and non-Christians alike, this one seems to be the asked the most and sufficiently answered the least. God has put it on my heart to try to answer this question in a way that is biblically sound and pastorally comforting.
To begin my research, I am going to try to read through the whole bible in about 4 months, noting every significant and relevant instance of evil, suffering, and death. This blog will be used as a database where I can store all of these instances as well as share with others what I am learning as I go through the research process. Please feel free to question, comment, and encourage me along the way.
