The Psalms and the Problem of Evil

About the Book

The reason for the Psalms’ enduring popularity is their familiar and pervasive cry for truth and equity in a world of inscrutable and stubborn injustice. Using as a critical paradigm the triangle of son, outsider/enemy, and father, The Psalms and the Problem of Evil elucidates the social and psychological underpinnings of the crucial issue of evil as treated in the Psalms.
