Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Justification of God: Lectures for War-Time on a Christian Theodicy I Have been warned that the appearance of an unfamiliar word like Theodicy on the title-page (even in the sub-title) may raise a certain prejudice in some minds that one would rather attract than repel. But it is hard to believe that the word can be so strange at a time when the passion for the thing has, by the magnitude of our present calamity, become for multitudes the keynote of their religion. We are all familiar more or less with one noble work, equally of faith and of art, whose object was stated on its front to be To vindicate Eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to man. That is a theodicy, the attempt to adjust the ways of God to conscience. But to His own conscience above all. That is the way taken in this book. Its object is not to bring God´s ways to the bar either of man´s reason or man´s conscience, but rather to the bar where all reason and con science must go at last, to the standard of a holy God´s own account of Himself in Jesus Christ and His Cross. A philosophical theodicy or vindication of God´s justice has not yet been found. And if faith wait for it, the soul may perish first. But a religious and theological theodicy (for here the one means the other) is not only not impossible; it is our only refuge.
