I have come to the conclusion that there is no “answer” to theodicy. Theologically, the only way to make sense of suffering is eschatology. The American writer William Faulkner is right. As he puts it, “What’s wrong with this world is, it’s not finished yet.”

thank you, @Jonathan_Black_!

Book 80. I think this concise yet pastoral book will be a help and blessing to many. Structured around some simple children’s prayers, @arwphd clears away a number of common missteps and confusions to go back to the much richer theological depths implicit in that childlike faith.

‘Faithful doubt—as opposed to unfaithful doubt—is the kind of questioning expressed *to* God rather than in isolation *from* God. As the Psalms often show us, what begins as doubt can be faithfully transformed into hope!’

@jeretics Revelation and the end of all things by Craig Koester and Peter Leithart’s recent two volumes on Revelation.

[Andrew Ray Williams @arwphd]

@thejordy_evans Yes even though I think OT is problematic on several fronts.

@Jonathan_Black_ Looks like you preach from a Cambridge Clarion? That’s what I preach from every week.

‘If I were to define what for me makes up the core Pentecostal identity, it is the lived conviction that everything, absolutely everything, in the scriptures is livable. Not just true, but livable. Not just an idea or a cause, but livable in real life.’

@wipfandstock The Humanity of God. That little essay on freedom is wonderful.
