For a middle class, mostly raised as white, American, it’s safe to say I’ve had quite the brush in with Christianity’s definition of God. More than that actually. Most of my family’s life was spent in the Midwest. Ohio to be exact. While my parents and I were hopping around the whole United States on military standby, the rest of my family on my dad’s side was, has been, and always will be, a part of a very cult like denomination of Christian church.

Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection…

disasters to take lives and bring devastation to millions of people around the world? In Terence Fretheim’s book, Creation Untamed: The Bible, God, and Natural Disasters, the author attempts to answer that exact question. He does this by examining Old Testament passages, drawing conclusions on the nature of God, and His intentions and actions through that.
