God knows everything that will happen in the future and is in full control even when we can't see the whole picture. However, this doctrine of God's divine providence has recently come under fire. Scholar and author James Spiegel affirms the classic view and shows how it answers difficult questions that Christians wrestle with, including the problem of evil.
