As this review will seek to show, if one discards that assumption, new vistas will open on the problem of evil, perspectives which show why Judeo-Christian theodicies are wholly inadequate. More than anything, the book seems characterized by a failure of imagination – time and time again, it assumes that the best, or the only, world God could possibly have created was this one, despite Lewis’ belief in God’s omnipotence. To one who already accepts the tenets of Christianity, Lewis’ explanation may well be convincing however, to those who question its basic premises, it is unlikely to hold up. Lewis’ The Problem of Pain is another attempt at Christian theodicy, the defense of God’s goodness in the face of the world’s evil, written by the well-known pop theologian and author of the Narnia series. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.Summary: Unconvincing to one who does not already agree with its basic assumptions.Ĭ.S.
