We take on the hardest form of the question “Did God create good and evil?” and refuse to settle for rhetoric that leaves us doubting God’s goodness. We read Isaiah alongside Paul, Jesus, and Martin Luther to find a sober, grace-filled way to trust God’s sovereignty without making him the author of sin.

• why Isaiah 45:7 and Isaiah 53:10 sound jarring at first read
• the difference between God revealed in the Word and God’s hidden will in Luther’s Bondage of the Will
• how the free will debate changes when you ask who is actually in control
• what Romans 8:28 means when suffering is real
• Paul’s “not rely on ourselves” lens in 2 Corinthians 1
• why Jesus and Stephen forgive their killers instead of blaming God
• how God brings good out of evil without evil ruling him
