'There are many arguments that promise to be logically satisfying but which in the end miniaturize both God's transcendence and the seriousness of human agonies in the interests of somebody's idea [of] philosophical neatness. It is intriguing that the Bible itself never leads us down this road. It pictures the mystery of evil in the world not as an intellectual riddle to be solved but as a reality of inexhaustible depth that deepens even as we reflect on it.'
Dick Keyes, Seeing through Cynicism: A Reconsideration of the Power of Suspicion, p.111.
