Publisher's Synopsis

Life is at once wonderful and appalling, beautiful and horrific. How can we live with this contradiction? And how can we believe in a just and loving God in the face of all the evils in the world?

The Bookseller

'A heartening book, confronting the hardest questions with wide knowledge and deep wisdom.'
John Carey, Chief Literary Reviewer, Sunday Times

'An eloquent, honest and engaging case for Christian faith.'
The Tablet

'The best case that could be made.'
