Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?: Thinking Biblically About the Problem of Sin in Our World

This booklet uses the famous question "Why do bad things happen to good people?" to organize an easy-to-read discussion of sin and grace, man's total depravity, God's just judgment of sin, and the redemptive grace found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Four questions are raised and answered: What does the Bible say about good people? What does the Bible say about bad things? Why do so many good things happen to bad people? What is the very best thing that can happen to bad people like us? Non-Christians will hear the gospel presented; believers will benefit from the explanation of sin and its consequences.
