Are These the Days of Ezekiel?: What Should We Think of the Emerging Church?

To begin this series I have opted to refer you two articles written by R. Albert Mohler Jr. on the issue of the emerging church. The point in doing this is to introduce you to more of the issues involved with this movement that is sweapping across the United States and a few other countries.

New Book on the Problem of Evil

This past Fall I was given the opportunity to review Carmen C. DiCello's latest work Why? Reflections on the Problem of Evil. DiCello's last work can be found at www.wipfandstock.com and www.amazon.com.

Since 1992, Carmen has served as associate and senior pastor in various churches. Currently, Carmen is both a public school teacher and adjunct professor at Columbia Evangelical Seminary in Longview Washington.

Here is what I have to say about this recent work that tackles the problem of evil: "In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the philosophical issues surrounding the problem of evil, which has plagued the minds of philosophers, theologians, and common folk alike. How can this happen to me? And, why? How can God be all-powerful and all-loving and yet allow evil to occur? These are among the many complex questions that have been raised throughout the centuries. Dr. DiCello provides a fresh look at the problem of evil in a postmodern era, approaching the subject from a solidly biblical-theological perspective. Furthermore, he challenges his readers to do the same. DiCello does not answer all the questions that arise when considering the problem of evil, but he does encourage his readers to search the Scriptures and to seek the face of God for solutions."
