ABSTRACT
For Christians the fundamental answer to the problem of evil is Jesus Christ. For non-Christians, and perhaps even for many Christians today, the appeal to Christ as the ultimate answer to the problem of evil may be difficult to understand. Christ's mission is to liberate man from sin suffering, and death and as the Incarnation of the fully divine Son, He in fact does so through His life, death, and resurrection. Yet today we still sin we still suffer, and we still die—and we do so no less now than they who lived before the time of Christ. This fact, obvious once mentioned, forces us to ask the question of soteriology, What exactly is Christian salvation? What has Christ really done about evil?
