Enigma of Evil by John Wenham

Can We Believe in the Goodness of God? (Christian View of the Bible)

Many people today find it difficult to accept the truth and authority of the Bible. They point to the moral problems that are raised by both the Old and New Testaments - problems such as divinely ordained wars, cursing psalms, and terrible pictures of hell and torment. In the face of such things, how can we maintain that God is good? The author tells us that this book began as a defensive exercise - as an attempt to answer some very difficult questions about the Bible. But it led him to a deeper understanding of what the goodness of God really means, so that it has become a positive exposition of the character of the living God.
