Reconciling the existence of God and evil is a conundrum in Christian theology, and a philosophical approach—rather than a theological one—dominates.

He argues that God's ultimate end in creation is to magnify his glory to his image-bearers, most notably by defeating evil through the atoning work of Christ.
