Abstract
One of the greatest calamities in human history was the First World War. It was a world conflict that saw the use of machine guns, tanks, poison gas, flame throwers, and aircraft. It also stands as an immovable boulder in the path of Christian theologians who refuse to see World War I as a challenge to their faith in a good and caring god. If an all-powerful, caring, and competent god had been paying close attention to each soldier as suggested by the New Testament, then how can the inaction of this god be explained or excused? When the suffering is so horrible and so massive, compassion dictates that god must do something. Otherwise, god is a joke—and “free will” is no defense whatever.
