I'm not a very religious person and non fiction books are not my cup of tea. But the review is well written, the book provides solutions to the problem of pain and gives an answer to the problem of evil in a simple and understandable way, so I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The Advent of Time is one of the many philosophical books I have took the time to look at, and it is one of the most descriptive books on God's love and suffering. Why He allowed it was one of the most burning questions I have ever had. The author explored deep into research to find the answers and I believe he did a great job with it. Fantastic review and congratulations on winning BOTD!

"The Advent of Time" by Indignus Servus offers a profound Christian perspective on God's love, human suffering, and accountability. Through bold discussions on sacrifice, determinism, and scientific critiques, it presents a well-referenced exploration of faith, love, and morality. Congrats BOTD!

In "The Advent of Time," Indignus Servus addresses the age-old problem of evil. Why so much evil abounds when there is an all-powerful, loving God protecting His people has always been an enigma. The author presents some thought-provoking explanations that readers will want to consider. Thanks for an insightful review. Congratulations to the author for such an absorbing BOTD.

The topic of God, his involvement in creation, his responsibilities regarding humans, and many more are too vast to explain with mere understanding. Congratulations on BOTD.

Before reading this book, I must admit that I always found religious explanations for suffering to be quite generic, ignoring the logical and physical elements such as pain, emotional turmoil and even trauma.
Yes. Precisely. And as a lifelong Bible student, this review has told me exactly what I needed to get me to read this book. Thanks to the author for giving it to us for free. Thanks to this reviewer for piquing my interest. This is going in the Want to Reads right away.

God has given us the freedom to express our love for one another. It is entirely up to us whether we do so or not. We must love those who are suffering and allow others to love us when we suffer. In all suffering there is the opportunity for the expression of love. That is what I understood from this book.

The book sounds intriguing and thought-provoking. Topics related to religion isn't my favourite genre, but I have a curiosity towards these themes. Because I really love to learn about different beliefs and perspectives. Definitely looking forward to dive into this book.

Indignus Servus' "The Advent of Time" provides novel perspectives on theological concepts that are integral to the Christian faith. The freedom of readers to interpret theological matters explored in the book as it occurs to them is a feature that I appreciate. Congratulations on BOTD.

God has a plan for everyone. Everything happened for our own good, and that, too, is God's plan for us. What we can do is thank Him and praise Him always. That is what Job did.

The Advent of Time" by Indignus Servus explores God’s being in-depth, providing details about God’s prioritization of love over all other factors, including justice. I admire and commend the author's effort to enlighten readers on who God is and the attributes that make him who he is despite humanity's misery. The book will be helpful to those with questions about why evil prevails in our world when there is a God will find this helpful.

However, I'll frankly say that there are some things that the logical mind can't ever understand or explain no matter how much it tries. One of such is God. In the case of God, one sure way to relate with Him ever is by faith.
