Synopsis

Occasioned by the near death of his son from lymphatic cancer and the experiences of eight weeks spent in an intensive-care waiting room, this volume by Arthur A. Vogel reflects on life with God in a world in which chance, accident, and evil are able arbitrarily to contradict the goodness of life.

About this title

From Library Journal:

After the near-death of his son from cancer, Vogel, a retired Episcopal bishop, reflects on the power of prayer and the character of God in a world marked more by chance and ambiguity than by providence. Vogel poses age-old questions about human freedom, God's will, and the role of God in human suffering. Out of the depths of his struggle, he concludes that God's freely giving himself to humankind as well as the presence and activity of an imminent God can lead to a reasonable belief in the orderliness underlying a chaotic world. Vogel's pastoral spirit shines through in accessible prose as he explores the dialog of faith and reason in the modern world. Recommended for most libraries.
