• Is God good? Nearly everyone who believes in God has asked this question at some time. In this world of grief and futility, needless suffering, disease and death, the question is nearly unavoidable. For millennia theologians, philosophers, prophets, poets, and people in general have asked the difficult questions of theodicy- but no answers have ever been found. After such a long and unsuccessful search most people today believe there is no answer to the vexing question of a world of evils created by Goodness. Metahistorical theology does offer a valid solution the age-old enigma of theodicy by means of its radical systematic Biblical theology, and its equally radical view of absolute creationism, and the nature of time and history. The overall problem is broken down into a number of smaller ones which can receive simple answers. It is in the uncanny coherency of these simple answers that the quandary of Goodness and evil is solved, and the goodness of God is revealed as something far greater than we have ever imagined
