The problem of evil is perhaps the greatest challenge to belief in a loving and personal God. The challenge naturally leads us to ask, Why, God, has this happened to me, to my loved ones, to my enemies? Or, to ask with the Psalmist, Where art thou God? Or, to perhaps echo Jesus, My God, my God, why hast thou abandoned me?

In this fourth volume of the Exploring Mormon Thought series, God’s Plan to Heal Evil, Blake T. Ostler examines how others in the Christian and Mormon traditions have attempted to provide solutions to this challenge and the shortcomings they contain. Ostler then looks to Mormon theology to offer what he calls the Plan of Agape, or what is perhaps the most robust explanation of how belief in a loving, personal God can be had in light of all of the suffering that exists in the world.
