In Broken Planet, Dr Sharon Dirckx, scientist and apologist, offers
a measured and thoughtful case for how there could be a God of love
that allows natural disasters. The question of suffering is one of
the greatest hurdles to Christian faith. When believers respond to
the question of why there is suffering in the world, they often
turn to the free-will defence. This states that humans make choices
for good or ill that can bring about suffering in the lives of
others. However, that doesn't explain why children die of cancer,
or why the latest earthquakes, tsunamis or pandemics have been so
destructive. These seem to happen not because of our choices, but
in spite of them. So how do we make sense of these events? Dr.
Sharon Dirckx blends argument, science and first-person narrative
in this unique book, weaving answers to real questions with
compassion and empathy, while also acknowledging the element of
mystery we will always live with while on earth. Dr Dirckx
addresses topics such as: If God exists, why would he make a world
with earthquakes and tsunamis? Why is there so much suffering in a
natural disaster? Are natural disasters God's judgement? Is my
illness a punishment from God? What kind of God would allow natural
disasters and diseases? If you have ever struggled to reconcile the
idea of a loving God with all the pain in our world, this book will
encourage you that belief in such a God is not as unreasonable as
it may seem. In fact, it may be where God is revealed most
profoundly.
