A Soteriologically Centered Theodicy responds to the question of how a loving God, who wants people to be saved, could have created them into a world full of evil. It examines the greatest manifestation of God's love, the provision of salvation for humanity, in light of the existence of evil.
In the Christian religion, humans can choose to spend eternity with God, or to suffer eternal damnation. God honors humans' choices, right or wrong, even if the result is evil. Many evils do take place, both moral and natural, and God is not obligated to bring about a greater good from them. Yet God remains sovereign, and his attributes are not impugned. These attestations appear to conflict with one another. However, the author offers a biblically, theologically, and logically sound theodicy, providing for the simultaneous resolution needed for the harmonious coexistence of these attestations. The author delves into such issues as the nature of evil, God's attributes, libertarian freedom, and salvation. God has given humans libertarian freedom to make real choices regarding their salvation and all aspects of life.

This book will be vital reading for scholars and students of theology, as well as ministers, counsellors and all those interested in this difficult paradox of the Christian faith.
