Beschreibung:
Richard W. Kropf holds doctorates in theology from the University of Ottawa and Universite St-Paul, Ottawa, Canada. His previously published books include Teilhard, Scripture, and Revelation (Fairleigh Dickenson University/ Associated University Press, 1980), Evil & Evolution: A Theodicy (Fairleigh Dickinson University/Associated University Press, 1984; 2nd. Edition, Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2004) and Faith: Security & Risk: The Dynamics of Spiritual Growth (Paulist Press, 1990; republished by Wipf and Stock in 2003). A former parish priest, college chaplain, and instructor in philosophy, psychology, religious studies, and theology, he now resides in northern lower Michigan.
First published in 1984 and recently revised and updated, this book deals with the problem of evil, or theodicy (God's justice). It contends that the process of evolution, particularly as it bears on the emergence of free will, rather than being a barrier to faith, gives us the key to understanding its greatest obstacle - the existence of so much suffering in the world. It further advances the still contested claim that God is truly our fellow sufferer in our struggle to overcome evil in all of its many forms.
