Suffering: a test of theological method

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "How can an omnipotent God allow suffering and violence to pervade the world? The author approaches this question by examining the concept of power. At opposing ends of a spectrum lie two powers--demonic power that is violent, destructive, and dominative, and the power of God that is creative, totally open, self-giving, and expansive. Through consideration of power, McGill provides reflections on the nature of God's inner life in the Trinity and concludes that "service" characterizes God's relationship to the world, not "domination.""
