{"product_id":"do-you-still-think-god-is-good","title":"Do You Still Think God Is Good?","description":"What is evil really?\n\n\n\tWhere does it come from?\n\n\n\tAnd if God is really God, why doesn't he do more about it? This world is out of control-so violent, painful, unfair and destructive. Doesn't God care?\n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\tThe Greek philosopher Epicurus is credited with saying:\n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\tEither God wants to abolish evil and cannot; or he can but does not want to; or he cannot and does not want to. If he wants to but cannot, he is impotent.\n\tIf he can and does not want to, he is wicked. But if God both can and wants to abolish evil, then how comes evil in the world?\n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\tThis is known as the Epicurean paradox. Obviously, mankind has been wrestling with the problem of evil for some time; Epicurus lived between 340-270 BC.\n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\tFast-forward twenty-three hundred years. Eric Jennings is a freshman at the University of Florida. He and his older sister, Libby, have moved in from the\n\tmission field to enter the premed program to become medical missionaries. Eric's roommate, Todd Rehnquist, though a baseball teammate and a good friend, is\n\tan atheist. And he poses the \"problem\" to Eric using an interesting quote. This sets in motion a conversation between Eric, Todd, Libby, Ray Cohen, the\n\tJennings' former science teacher, and Mike Murphy, a local youth minister and one of Eric's spiritual mentors. The conversation happens at an area\n\tbreakfast haunt, the Gator Skillet. Follow them as they wrestle with this most profound of issues and connect the dots. You'll find that the answers are as\n\tsimple as they are surprising.","brand":"Morgan James Publishing llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252693029208,"sku":"9781630470654","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781630470654_ce6b51c5-1ac9-4594-8d7d-93d3cade8bc5.jpg?v=1765274455","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/do-you-still-think-god-is-good","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
