Disability and The Problem of Evil

Viac o knihe

Living life with a disability can be difficult. It can be so difficult that many have asked the question, "Why me, God?" In this work, Schmoll unpacks what has been termed the problem of evil as it relates to disability from a theologically conservative, Evangelical perspective. Bringing together the seemingly disparate fields of disability studies, church history, and philosophy, he considers what it means to have a disability, how prominent theologians have addressed disability, and how to reconcile the problem of evil itself. Disability raises complex questions, but Schmoll offers a compassionate and compelling response, blending personal experience with academic study, to the charge that an all-knowing, all-good, all-powerful God could not allow something like disability in the world.
