Unspeakable: Facing up to Evil in an Age of Genocide and Terror by Os Guinness

Not an enjoyable book, but an important topic nonetheless. Much good history and philosophy and a lot of honesty. Fair to all points of view, to the point of some mistaken moral equivalences. Abu Ghraib might be symbolic of American evil, but abortion would be a far more serious example. I found the book poorly written; a good editor could have made it enormously better, I am sad to say. The Christian view of evil and our response to it and our living with it is portrayed well, without really an answer. The answer of course is what we are waiting for, what I would simply call the Glorious Appearing. No other answer will do. None other will be needed.
