Evil in Scripture denotes both suffering and behavior that causes it. Anger often follows suffering. Anger at people is condemned, but anger at God is accepted because biblical faith portrays God as inflicting evil. This faith calls for an understanding of language about God acting and a biblical theodicy revealing God's goodness; both are provided. Portrayals of God as inflicting evil do not deny that, factually, humans inflict it, so the witness about human sin is included. Final chapters offer biblical deliverances from evil.

Inheritance: Covenants, Kingdoms, Bodies and Nations is a study on a Christian's inheritance in the Lord. It examines a range of subjects dealing with God's covenants to what those covenants represent to how a Christian can better gird themselves up with the tools and weapons of the Lord to fight the spiritual fight we must all partake in if we hope to overcome in these final days. Inheritance also shines a light on a great many subjects surrounding the theme of inheritance through the lens of the Old Testament prophets.
