Nicola Hoggard Creegan offers a compelling examination of the
problem of evil in the context of animal suffering, disease, and
extinction and the violence of the evolutionary process. Using the
parable of the wheat and the tares as a hermeneutical lens for
understanding the tragedy and beauty of evolutionary history, she
shows how evolutionary theory has deconstructed the primary
theodicy of historic Christianity--the Adamic fall--while
scientific research on animals has increased appreciation of animal
sentience and capacity for suffering. Animal Suffering and the
Problem of Evil responds to this new theodic challenge. Hoggard
Creegan argues that nature can be understood as an interrelated mix
of the perfect and the corrupted: the wheat and the tares. At times
the good is glimpsed, but never easily nor unequivocally. She then
argues that humans are not to blame for all evil because so much
evil preceded human becoming. Finally, she demonstrates that faith
requires a confidence in the visibility of the work of God in
nature, regardless of how infinitely subtle and almost hidden it
is, affirming that there are ways of perceiving the evolutionary
process beyond that 'nature is red in tooth and claw.'
