Many people argue that the presence of evil in the world is proof that God cannot exist, or if he does exist, cannot be good or all-powerful. Greg Welty uses biblical exegesis alongside his experience as a philosopher to present a different conclusion. God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the world, really does work all things for good. A must-listen for anyone struggling with this issue.

Chapter titles include:

  1. What is the Problem of Evil?
  2. The Greater–Good Theodicy: A Threefold Argument for Three Biblical Themes
  3. Licensing the Greater–Good Theodicy: God’s Sovereignty over Evil
  4. Limiting the Greater–Good Theodicy: The Inscrutability of God’s Purposes
  5. Can Free Will or the Laws of Nature Solve the Problem of Evil?
  6. Objections Appendix: Going Beyond Job, Joseph and Jesus for the Greater–Good Theodicy

The work itself is excellent and well-worth reading.

However, the narrator makes this audiobook difficult to enjoy. He has a fine voice, but is unfamiliar with reading Biblical names and notations, has irregular pacing, and stumbles on wording/syntax throughout. There are also strange whisper-voices he uses for Biblical passages. Chapter 3 includes an editing error that skips back 15 pages in the book and reads it over again, while chapter 5 skips large sections, then cuts off four pages before the end and jumps to chapter 6. It is overall manageable to listen to, but it doesn’t come across polished or well-edited.

Sound doctrine and book; Narration needs improvement
