EVIL AND THE JUSTICE OF GOD

Initially wanting to produce a work on the meaning of Jesus's crucifixion, Wright quickly realized that he first needed to address the problem of evil itself within a Christian paradigm. Simon Vance voices the Anglican bishop authoritatively, taking heady matter and bringing it—if not all the way down to basics—at least to the layman's level in a conversational tone at once friendly and instructive. Tackling major theological hurdles—with subtle nods toward his “Christus victor” view of Christ's atonement—Wright brings his decades of public speaking experience to the fore in crafting a work that works well as delivered by Vance.
