Questions and Answers for God Can't

If God can't prevent evil, what can God do?

In his best-selling book, God Can't: How to Believe in God and Love After Tragedy, Abuse, and Other Evils, Thomas Jay Oord explains why God doesn't prevent unnecessary suffering. Oord offers five aspects of a believable answer to why a loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The most controversial idea: God can't stop evil singlehandedly.

In this follow-up book, Oord answers questions that readers of God Can't asked in response to his ground-breaking proposals. Answers in this new book solve age-old conundrums and offer plausible explanations. The chapters answer questions such as…

If God can't control creation, why pray? If God's love is uncontrolling, how do we explain miracles? What does an uncontrolling God actually do? What does it mean to say God loves everyone and everything? How does Jesus fit into a theology of uncontrolling love? If a loving God created the universe, why is evil even possible? What final hope do we have if God's love is uncontrolling? How do you know God's can't prevent evil?

In a conversational style, Oord addresses each question. The result is a view of God even more compelling than many thought possible!

Questions and Answers for God Can't resolves the questions deep thinkers ask. The answers deepen trust in a God of uncontrolling love.
