Publisher's Description

What does it mean to be human in a world filled with tragedy? With creativity and insight Edward Farley, one of today's most respected theologians, here addresses this universal and haunting question of evil. Farley anchors his discussion firmly in interhuman (I-thou) dynamics as a key to unfolding the personal and social spheres of human existence. "It is," says Farley, "the corruption of elemental passions and the resulting contagion of the personal and social spheres that provide a total view of human evil and its redemptive possibilities."

“... a creative synthetic account of human existence. Readers of traditional theology will find ways to relate their interest to a store of contemporary knowledge; non-theological readers will see how traditional religious symbols can deepen a secular understanding of human life.”

James M. Gustafson
