(Evil and suffering are a part of everyone's experience. K...)
Evil and suffering are a part of everyone's experience. Kenneth Cauthen breaks new ground in exploring the torments and terrors of this life. Some of his positions may be considered daring and controversial. But his approach, while creative, is rooted in a deeply biblical faith as he interprets the meaning of suffering and the relationship of God to human anguish. This book will be a useful resource for counselors, pastors, teachers and others who are called upon to help people cope with tragedy. It will be helpful to individuals who are attempting to understand the torment or suffering in their own lives. The author addresses many difficult questions and illustrates his answers with fascinating real-life examples: How is evil related to suffering? What is God's responsibility in causing and overcoming evil? How does faith provide a basis for hope in the midst of suffering? Why is evil a part of our world? Kenneth Cauthen, Ph.D. is John Price Crozer Griffith Emeritus Professor of Theology, Colgate-Rochester Divinity School/Bexley Hall/Crozer Theological Seminary. A recognized authority in Theology and Ethics, his book The Impact of American Religious Liberalism has been a standard text and was chosen for a special White House Library on American history and culture. Cauthen received his education from Mercer University (magna cum laude), Yale Divinity School, B.D., Emory University, M.A., and Vanderbilt University, Ph.D. He is the author of twelve books and contributing author to seven others. There is also a Study Guide to accompany this book.

(This book presents a neo-modernist outlook of the Bible, ...)
This book presents a neo-modernist outlook of the Bible, God, and Christ that challenges many of the assumptions underlying most contemporary theological perspectives. On the basis of a thoroughly relativistic empirical-rational pragmatism, a form of theistic naturalism and a radical Christology are set forth that proposes that living Christians should regard themselves as the functional authorities who determine what religious and moral views are normative for today based on the best they know up to now from all sources, the Bible being central among them.

(Are we ever justified in choosing to die by deliberate ac...)
Are we ever justified in choosing to die by deliberate action? Is it ever right to aid those who request assistance in dying? These questions are widely debated today, and in this book Cauthen sets forth the major arguments for and against physician-assisted death. Readers will find here all the essential information they need to approach this problem and form their own personal point of view. Cauthen writes from a religious perspective and makes explicit the biblical and philosophical foundations for his thinking. He presents a cautious and reasoned case for changing the current law with respect to physician-assisted suicide and physician-administered death. Kenneth Cauthen, Ph.D., is John Price Crozer Griffith Emeritus Professor of Theology, Colgate-Rochester Divinity School/Bexley Hall/Crozer Theological Seminary. A recognized authority in theology and ethics, his book The Many Faces Of Evil, which breaks new ground in exploring the torments and terrors of evil and suffering in this life, has become a standard resource in schools and for private study. Cauthen received his education from Mercer University (magna cum laude), Yale Divinity School (B.D.), Emory University (M.A.), and Vanderbilt University (Ph.D.).

(I was fortunate in that I chose my parents well. John Wil...)
I was fortunate in that I chose my parents well. John Wilfred Cauthen and Nancy Beulah Harris Cauthen were ordinary folks from rural Georgia. They taught me what unconditional love was by their words and actions. I will be forever grateful to these wonderful people who demonstrated the beauty of ordinary lives. This little booklet is a loving tribute to them. I focus on their last years as they confronted the necessity of giving up the home they loved and moving to a nursing home to spend the rest of their days.

(Born into the Wrong World is the story of a country boy f...)
Born into the Wrong World is the story of a country boy from the rural segregated South who grew up among farmers and mill workers. Kenneth Cauthen has spent a lifetime trying to make sense of life and its mysteries. He has always between troubled that there is so much suffering and injustice in the world and puzzled that we do so little about it. He defends the view of a limited, suffering God as the only credible way to explain why. Born in 1930, Cauthen's life covers a span from the Great Depression to the Age of Terror. This memoir views his 80 plus years in the context of these tumultuous decades. His evocative descriptions of childhood in the country are marked with humor and appreciative feeling as he talks about outdoor toilets, life in a small Baptist church, the eccentricities of colorful individuals, the family grocery store, and the sights, sounds, and smells of that rustic time long ago. He speaks candidly of early sexual trauma and the pain of parental conflict. It is all here-his life experiences with all their sorrows and joy, inner struggles, his brief career as a pastor who barely escaped early dismissal over the race issue, his four-decade long career as a professor of theology and author, his first marriage, family life, episodes of depression, a devastating divorce, and a happy second marriage, his theological development and thought, his ambivalence about the church, and his social and political views.
