The Justification Of God: Lectures For Wartime On A Christian Theodicy (1917)

By P.T. Forsyth

Book Overview

The Justification Of God: Lectures For Wartime On A Christian Theodicy is a book written by Peter T. Forsyth and originally published in 1917. The book is a collection of lectures that were delivered during World War I, and it seeks to provide a Christian perspective on the problem of evil and suffering in the world, particularly in the context of war.Forsyth argues that the traditional Christian doctrine of justification by faith provides a framework for understanding the problem of evil, and that the suffering and injustice of war can be seen as part of a larger redemptive plan that God is working out in the world. He also emphasizes the importance of the cross of Christ as the ultimate expression of God's love and justice, and argues that Christians should respond to the challenges of war with faith, hope, and love.The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and it is intended for a general audience. It has been influential in the development of Christian theology, particularly in the area of theodicy (the study of how to reconcile the existence of evil with the belief in a loving and just God).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
