The Problem Of Evil by A.E. Knoch

In a world filled with very light, touchy feely, self oriented books on the topics of things such as seven steps to your happiest life ever, etc., it has been extremely refreshing, eye opening, and challenging to read a book by the late A.E. Knock entitled "The Problem Of Evil."

I had never heard of Knoch until James Flanders referred to him in passing during an audio teaching last month on his website.

In this book the author tackle topics I have never heard dealt with by any pastor or author. Topics which others seem to run from Knoch tackles head on. Although these topics on the origin of evil and it's purpose will make the average orthodox person (or recovering orthodox person) very uncomfortable, they are very well worth exploring. In the end, the studious person who is not afraid to go for the jugular of truth will grow exponentially through a study such as this and their view of Christ and His work will be greatly expanded. They will experience greater peace as they come to know the greatness of the power, wisdom, and work of God.

At this point, I am not sure how to put into words the impact this book has had on me. All I can say is, at the first opportunity you should read it.

Due to the subject matter, mainstream "Christian" publishers wouldn't touch this book or any like it with a ten foot pole, so you won't find it in your local Lifeway or other Christian trinket shop.

Here is a link to a rare book seller who carries this great work along with many others that will challenge and enrich you as you draw closer to God.
