Creation is Fallen: Unraveling the Mystery of Natural Evil

Step into a profound exploration of one of Christianity's most challenging questions with Creation is Fallen: The Curse, Animal Suffering, and the Problem of Natural Evil by Ken P. Coulson. In this compelling and meticulously researched work, Coulson tackles the age-old dilemma: How can a good and omnipotent God allow such widespread suffering and death in the natural world?

Drawing from both Scripture and science, Coulson examines the historical and theological roots of animal suffering, predation, and natural disasters. He traces the debate from the Church Fathers through to modern creationist and evolutionary thought, critically engaging with the most influential theodicies and defenses. With vivid real-world examples—from the parasitic cuckoo bird to the chilling realities of predation and extinction—Coulson brings the problem of natural evil into sharp focus.

Unlike many books that gloss over biblical nuance or scientific detail, Creation is Fallen offers a rigorous, balanced approach. Coulson's expertise in both theology and science shines as he navigates complex questions about the Fall, the meaning of "very good" in Genesis, and the implications for Christian faith today.

Whether you are a pastor, theologian, scientist, or thoughtful reader wrestling with the intersection of faith and the realities of the natural world, this book is an indispensable resource. Discover why understanding the fallen nature of creation is essential for a robust, honest, and hope-filled Christian worldview.
