Calvinism's Answer to the Problem of Evil

Calvinism's Answer to the Problem of Evil
Charnock embarks on a thoughtful journey to address the apparent paradox of God's foreknowledge of sin and human moral responsibility. He explains the nature of God's decrees, emphasizing that divine judgment on sin, manifested in the doctrine of reprobation, underscores God's justice without compromising His holiness. The treatise considers the sovereignty of God in permitting sin, arguing that such permission serves the higher purpose of glorifying His grace and justice, without making Him the author of sin.
Further, Charnock explores the concurrence of God's providential will with the actions of created beings, illustrating how God's ultimate governance does not violate the agency of secondary causes but rather works through them to achieve His purposes. Additionally, the concept of God's restraining grace is examined, presenting the idea that God's withdrawal of grace as a form of judgment is an expression of His justice, perfectly aligned with His character.
Throughout the treatise, Charnock not only engages with theological complexities but also provides pastoral insights into the nature of suffering and evil, affirming the steadfastness and goodness of God in the face of life's trials. "Calvinism's Answer to the Problem of Evil" is not merely a theological exposition; it is a beacon of hope for believers grappling with the realities of a fallen world, offering assurance of God's unchanging goodness and sovereign plan.
This work is an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between divine sovereignty and the existence of evil, framed within the solid grounding of Reformed theology and Scripture. Charnock's thorough examination and clear presentation make this treatise a valuable resource for theologians, pastors, and lay believers alike, as they navigate the complexities of faith in a broken world. Charnock's work is not just a theological expositi
