Robin Gill sensitively examines the various explanations that theologians offer to the problem of why the world contains so much innocent suffering. A book for all who want to believe in God but struggle to do so in the face of the pointless cruelty that appears to be built into God's creation.

Robin Gill's most recent books include The Cambridge Companion to Christian Ethics (2nd edn, CUP 2011), Sociological Theology, Volumes 1, 2 & 3 (Ashgate, 2012) and A Textbook of Christian Ethics (4th edn, T&T Clark 2014).
