"Beker has turned to the Scriptures with his questions not simply
because that is his area of expertise, but because the Scriptures
reflect the same tensions which the author experiences: between
suffering and hope, between trust in a good Creator and the fact of
immense pain everywhere. As does the Bible, Beker stands squarely
before God when thinking about both light and darkness, both good
and evil. And on every page the author appeals to that desire in
all of us to avoid both cynicism and na�ve credulity."
