John R. Schneider explores the problem that animal suffering,
caused by the inherent nature of Darwinian evolution, poses to
belief in theism. Examining the aesthetic aspects of this moral
problem, Schneider focuses on the three prevailing approaches to
it: that the Fall caused animal suffering in nature (Lapsarian
Theodicy), that Darwinian evolution was the only way for God to
create an acceptably good and valuable world (Only-Way Theodicy),
and that evolution is the source of major, God-justifying beauty
(Aesthetic Theodicy). He also uses canonical texts and doctrines
from Judaism and Christianity - notably the book of Job, and the
doctrines of the incarnation, atonement, and resurrection - to
build on insights taken from the non-lapsarian alternative
approaches. Schneider thus constructs an original, God-justifying
account of God and the evolutionary suffering of animals. His book
enables readers to see that the Darwinian configuration of animal
suffering unveiled by scientists is not as implausible on Christian
theism as commonly supposed.
