Cauthen, a nationally recognized authority in the fields of theology and ethics, tackles some of mankind's most intractable issues, trying to help us understand the nature of evil in all of its manifestations. He attempts to create a Biblically rooted framework wherein we can interpret the meaning of suffering and the relationship of God to human anguish. Some consider his positions controversial, but all who examine them will be uplifted and have their faith strengthened.Cauthen has written from his heart, from his heart, from his personal experience, and has woven together philosophical and theological insights into the nature of evil with personal testimonies of strength, endurance, and survival. This book deserves to be read by anyone who is struggling with the ambiguity of evil in their lives. Dr. James H. Evans, Jr., President The Divinity School Rochester, New York

In Baptists and the Christian Tradition, editors Matthew Emerson, Christopher Morgan and Lucas Stamps compile a series of essays advocating "Baptist catholicity." This approach presupposes a critical, but charitable, engagement with the whole church, both past and present, along with the desire to move beyond the false polarities of an Enlightenment-based individualism on the one hand and a pastiche of postmodern relativism on the other.
