About this listen
As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God’s power or God’s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God - if such exists - allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea, David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering. He calls both to recognize in the worst catastrophes not the providential will of God but rather the ongoing struggle between the rebellious powers that enslave the world and the God who loves it wholly.

This book is excellent and beautifully read. The author’s compelling message is fully reinforced by Biblical quotations. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I strongly recommend it to everyone.

A complex read
Well thought out. Well argued. But not simple everyday pro-Christian arguments. This gets heavily into theology. It may be sort. But it's not a light read. More than being a refutation of atheism. It's a response to Christian apologetics David Bentley Hart considers underwhelming. If not straight up harmful.
Even as someone who's read Hart's work before. It's heavy and dense reading. It's not a light read at all. Nor is it really focused on the actual of real disasters or the human suffering that's caused by them that much. Hart himself admits this near the book's end. But if some serious theological discussion is something you're angling for. Give it a shot.
