Questions and Answers for God Can't

Written by Thomas Jay Oord

Narrated by Thomas Jay Oord

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.
