El Fin del Cristianismo

Now available in Spanish. Theodicy attempts to resolve how a good God<BR>and evil world can coexist. The neo-atheist view in this debate has dominated<BR>recent bestseller lists through books like "The God Delusion" (Richard<BR>Dawkins) and "The End of Faith" (Samuel Harris). And their popularity illuminates<BR>a changing mental environment wherein people are asking harder<BR>questions about divine goodness. Surprisingly, these books please intelligent<BR>design champion William Dembski, because "They would be unnecessary if<BR>Christianity were not again a live issue."<BR>Entering the conversation, Dembski's provocative "The End of Christianity<BR>"embraces the challenge to formulate a theodicy that is both faithful to<BR>Christian orthodoxy and credible to the new mental environment. He writes<BR>to make peace with three claims: (1) God by wisdom created the world out<BR>of nothing. (2) God exercises particular providence in the world. (3) All evil<BR>in the world ultimately traces back to human sin. In the process, Dembski<BR>brings the reader to a fresh understanding of what "the end (result) of<BR>Christianity" really means: the radical realignment of our thinking so that<BR>we see God's goodness in creation despite the distorting effects of sin in our<BR>hearts and evil in the world.
