Theology in a Suffering World by Christopher Southgate
The book will be of value to scholars in universities and Christian churches, and also to university students from second-year undergraduates to those at Masters level, and those training for the Christian ministry. It will be of special interest to those focused on theology as an interdisciplinary exploration.
'What Southgate has attempted here is nothing less than courageous; whether he has succeeded will be up to the readerI would recommend Theology in a Suffering World to all those who are interested in theodicy, suffering and impassibility, and the vexing question of natural and moral evil in the Christian life. Southgate's work should be commended as an honest look at difficult issues and indeed is an engaging contribution to theological studies concerning glory and suffering; it can be approached by theologians and ministers alike.' Brent McCulley, International Journal of Systematic Theology
Christopher Southgate is Associate Professor in Interdisciplinary Theology at the University of Exeter. Trained originally as a biochemist, he is still involved in origin of life research and is known in the science-religion debate for his edited textbook, and his monograph on suffering in evolution, The Groaning of Creation (2008). This book is a sequel to Groaning, but it also builds on Southgate's career as a poet, in which he has won a Hawthornden Fellowship and published eight collections, and his experience as principal of a theological training scheme, and as a spiritual director and retreat conductor.
