Ninth big endorsement for my book. Ron Sandison, a conservative evangelical medical field, ministry teacher, and traveling evangelist, draws from his personal testimony and years of ministry experience to advocate a “tripolar” framework for interpreting the good and evil in human events. Sandison derives his practical approach, from a Western, free-will reading of Augustine of Hippo: namely, that God, humans, and the devil each possess free choice. This approach results in Sandison’s including both internal and external “loci of control” in his interpretation of events and the resulting ethical and theological questions they raise. Sandison explores an amazing diversity of case examples and personal stories to illustrate and develop his interpretation. From Judas’s betrayal of Jesus to the murder of the famous American atheist, Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the book applies the interpretive framework to a very wide range of situations. A wide diversity of topical biblical exegesis (with extensive use of key Greek New Testament terms), a broad range of quotations, and even some pious humor are offered to illumine Sandison’s distinctive interpretations. For conservative Protestant Christians seeking to make some moral sense of bewildering events, Sandison offers practical perspectives, pastoral advice, and distinctive interpretations that fit into a unified Christian worldview. ~ Dr. Charles J.
