Abstract

Christians can understand natural disasters as a reflection of God's anger at the unfaithfulness of creation. Seeing God at work in natural disasters may help Christians to find solace. Dale Aukerman's book 'Reckoning with Apocalypse: Terminal Politics and Christian Hope' provides insight into the relationship between apoclayptic eschatology and Christian discipleship, which is relevant to the interpretation of natural disasters as God's work. In addition, humility can be learned through the contemplation of natural disasters.

During the present century there has been a firm focus on suffering due to direct human action, with virtually theodicy strongly affected by justifying a loving God in certain contexts. An attempt to develop a new theodicy of natural disaster has been made, which considers changes in both theodicy and social theory.
