Evil in Scripture denotes both suffering and behavior that causes it. Anger often follows suffering. Anger at people is condemned, but anger at God is accepted because biblical faith portrays God as inflicting evil. This faith calls for an understanding of language about God acting and a biblical theodicy revealing God's goodness; both are provided. Portrayals of God as inflicting evil do not deny that, factually, humans inflict it, so the witness about human sin is included. Final chapters offer biblical deliverances from evil.

Both age-old and pressing is the question of how the existence of God can be reconciled with the existence of radical evil. Swedenborg's masterpiece 'Divine Providence' takes on that question and explains how God's greatest gift to humanity, our freedom, mandates that God permit evil.

May natural selection contain seeds of our destruction? Do unintended consequences haunt our means of production?

They range from the shape of a nose to the religions practiced to humanity's definitions of
