Fretheim. Grand Rapids, Mich. : Baker Academic, c2010. xvi, 160 p. ; 22 cm. Theological explorations for the Church Catholic Originally presented as lectures given as the Earle Lectures at Nazarene Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri in October 2008 and as Midwinter Convocation lectures at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota in January 2009. Includes bibliographical references and index. God created the world good, not perfect -- The God of the flood story and natural disasters -- Natural disasters, the will of the Creator, and the suffering of Job -- Suffering and the God of the Old Testament -- God, faith, and the practice of prayer. The Bible often speaks of natural disasters, but its insights have been insufficiently explored. Terence Fretheim offers fresh readings of familiar Old Testament passages--creation, the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the plagues of Egypt, the suffering of Job, and the biblical laments--to provide biblical resources for working through this topic. He presents an understanding of creation as good, but not perfect; examines the human experience of suffering; and explores the role of humans in the creative process. Fretheim shows the God of the Bible to be a compassionate, suffering, relational God, one we can turn to in prayer in times of disaster. --from publisher description Bible. O.T.
