It gathers fresh and innovative perspectives provided by internationally renowned biblical scholars that not only demonstrate ways in which these topics are dealt with in the Hebrew Bible itself, but also map out their lasting impact on human experience of suffering throughout history. Put into dialogue with the thought-provoking work of Fredrik Lindström, the volume provides a diversity of methodological approaches to the question of human suffering and God's role in it, ranging from discussions of monism in the Hebrew Bible, through deconstructive readings of evil in the Exodus narrative, to the processing of suffering at the Dachau concentration camp, and ways that the dynamics of good and evil might play out in a technological future dominated by artificial intelligence.Survey of contentsBlaženka Scheuer/David Willgren Davage: Introduction Part I: The Hebrew Bible in General John Barton: God and Evil in the Hebrew Bible – Hermann Spieckermann: God in Conflict With Evil: Comfort, Repentance, and Compassion as Options of Divine Agency – Erik Aurelius: Sin Without Suffering?
