Many of us have struggled to come to terms with horrendous and tragic evils that happened to someone we know or even ourselves.

Many of us have struggled to come to terms with horrendous and tragic evils that happened to someone we know or even ourselves. It is a well-known fact that Job, whom God called "blameless and upright," 1suffered the most tragic evil resulting in complete destruction of all his life possessions including his children for no apparent just cause. Even when God decided to answer Job and his friends, He never explained why Job had to suffer such devastations but rather overwhelmed him with His sovereignty. Although God restored everything Job lost two-fold, the restoration rarely explained the justification for the tragic and moral evils that he had to endure neither did it portray God as the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God. In the same manner, how does one comfort a mother whose child has just been raped and killed or the families of the victims of a school shooting that left many children dead? How does one justify a terrorist attack like the one witnessed in this country on September 11, 2001 or the kind of genocide visited on the Tutsis by Hutu power groups in Rwanda in 1994? Is there any justification for the atrocious moral evils that are being witnessed on a daily basis worldwide? Where is God in all these? Is the notion of God as the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent Being compatible with the existence of evil?
