The Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?
David Bentley HartPaperback 2011-03-15
Publisher Description
As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God?'s power or God?'s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God if such exists allow such suffering?In The Doors of the Sea David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering. He calls both to recognize in the worst catastrophes not the providential will of God but rather the ongoing struggle between the rebellious powers that enslave the world and the God who loves it wholly.
