Scott Christensen has written an amazing book that is not just a dry, academic look at the question of why evil exists. Why? For God's Glory! Pastor Christensen joins us to talk about his Greater-Glory Theodicy that places God at the center of the picture of the ultimate story of reality.

We then ask Pastor Christensen a pastoral question to help us Christians offer hope to those who experience evil. Even in the life of non-believers, we see one of the biggest emotional questions is why is this evil happening. Pastor Christensen gives an amazing answer that points us to the Creator and Sustainer of all things and ultimately to Christ on the Cross.

Thanks again to Scott Christensen for his work and for coming back on the show.
