Death Toll in Madrid Train Attacks Rises to 200
Another terrible story.

The evening news makes it impossible to deal with the problem of evil in abstractions. The problem of evil faces us every day and night in every form of the media. So how do we answer this age old problem?

Greg Boyd's thinking and writing on this subject is really intriguing to me. I don't know if I have truly become an open theist (I am pastoring a Presbyterian Church, though I am ordained in the Christian Church Disciples of Christ) but I am definitely leaning toward this theological understanding.

I am still reading through and wrestling with Boyd's book God at War. It is a challenging read.
