Defeating Evil: How God Glorifies Himself in a Dark World

Scott Christensen

4.9/5 (14466 ratings)

Description:Revised, adapted, and condensed for a broader audience, this companion edition to Scott Christensen’s lauded What about Evil? shows how sin, evil, corruption, and death fit into redemptive history. Exploring the storyline of Scripture and addressing practical concerns, Christensen shows that God’s ultimate end in creation is to maximize his glory before his image-bearers by defeating evil through Christ’s atoning work.Endorsements“The problem of evil is widely considered the hardest of all theological If God is omnipotent, sovereign, and good, why does evil exist? Where did it come from? Why does it persist, if a benevolent God has the power to eliminate it? Scripture is full of truths that shed light on those questions, and Scott Christensen skillfully brings them together in this helpful, insightful, and ultimately satisfying analysis. As a matter of fact, the ultimate biblical answer to the problem of evil is condensed and implied in this book’s title and Defeating How God Glorifies Himself in a Dark World. I don’t know of a better or more readable unfolding of that truth than Scott’s excellent, well-written work.”—John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California; Chancellor Emeritus, The Master’s University and Seminary“Scott Christensen has done it again! Following on the heels of his longer, groundbreaking book on the difficult challenge of the problem of evil, What about Evil?, Christensen has provided a more accessible version of it in Defeating Evil. What thrills me about the publication of this new book is that more people will be able to read it. Christensen provides some of the best biblical and theological thinking on why God has allowed sin and evil to exist in his good world; for those who may not have time to read the longer work, this shorter version is precisely what is needed. The only satisfying answer to the problem of evil from a biblical viewpoint is the ‘greater-glory theodicy’ viewed in terms of the glory of our triune God in the face of our Lord Jesus Christ. In a day when sound biblical and theological answers to the problem of evil are wanting, this book fills a huge need. I pray that it will have a wide readership so that the church will be grounded in the truth of God’s Word and thus have faithful answers to one of the most difficult questions of Christian theology.”—Stephen J. Wellum, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; editor, Southern Baptist Journal of Theology“As we experience pain and evil in our sin-cursed world, we are often tempted to cry with Asaph, ‘But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked’ (Ps. 73:2–3). How can we reconcile the biblical teaching that God is all-powerful and good with what appears to be increasingly growing wickedness around us? In Defeating Evil, Scott Christensen helpfully answers the age-old problem of evil from Scripture. This book is readable, engaging, devotional, and uplifting for any Christian who needs to find hope in God in the midst of the darkness of this world.”—Scott Aniol, Executive Vice President and Editor-in-Chief, G3 Ministries; Professor, Pastoral Theology, Grace Bible Theological Seminary; author, Musing on God’s Music and Citizens and ExilesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
