End of Christianity, The : Finding a good God in an evil world

---

Outline: Theodicy attempts to resolve how a good God and an evil world can coexist. The neo-atheist side of this debate has dominated twenty-first-century bestseller lists with books like The God Delusion, God Is Not Great, and The End of Faith. Their popularity illuminates a changing mental environment in which people are asking harder questions about divine goodness. Suprisingly, these books please intelligent design champion William Dembski, because "they would be unnecessary if Christianity were not again a live issue." Entering the conversation, Dembski's provocative The End of Christianity embraces the challenge to formulate a theodicy that is both faithful to Christian orthodoxy and credible to the new mental environment. He writes to make peace with three claims:
1. God by wisdom created the world out of nothing.
2. God exercises particular providence in the world.
3. All evil in the world ultimately traces back to human sin.
In the process, Dembski brings us to a fresh understanding of what "the end (result) of Christianity" really means: a radical realignment of our thinking so that we see God's goodness in creation despite the distorting effects of sin in our hearts and evil in the world.
