Spectacular Sins

This is not just another book about the problem of evil. It is more specific and more radical. The focus is not on spectacular calamities, but spectacular sins. The question is not, "Where was God in the storm?" but, "What is God's design in sin?" John Piper argues that God, in some mysterious and meticulous way, governs even wickedness and personal sin for his wise and good purposes, presenting this theological perspective as hopeful news for readers and the world at large. Drawing on his pastoral experience and biblical scholarship, Piper addresses difficult scriptural questions about divine sovereignty and human wrongdoing, showing how the most spectacular sins in history -- including the fall of Satan, the fall of man, and the crucifixion of Christ -- fit into God's sovereign plan of redemption.
