Your review provides adequate detail about the book. Thank you. I understand that "The Advent of Time" by Indignus Servus, is a book that sought to explain and proffer solutions to the mystery of suffering in relation to an all-loving and all-powerful God. Somehow, it all sounds so philosophical, and I don't do philosophy. So, I'll pass. However, I love the aspect where the book delved into the primary purpose of human existence, which is to experience love with God and with one another. The emphasis on the importance of selflessness and genuine care for others in fostering meaningful relationships is such a timeless insight in our now world.

The Advent of Time by Indignus Servus is a remarkable exploration of suffering and faith within Christian theology. I appreciate how the author offers a fresh perspective while remaining faithful to traditional beliefs. The book’s thorough references and logical approach provide a compelling read for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of these profound topics.

In The Advent of Time, Indignus Servus answers the timeless question of why evil and suffering exist when there is an all-loving and all-powerful God. The author answers this from an orthodox Christian point of view. This book will be interesting for many, including theologians. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Although today's BOTD isn't the one for me, those who enjoy thought-provoking reads about Christain theology will want to pick this one up today! In addition, the easy-to-understand language and explanations make this accessible to a wide audience, which is a plus. Thanks for your review! :-)

Congrats on BOTD! Expecting a rational explanation for the sorrow and pain people witness in the world is typical. It's that clarity they seek. This review aims to present the book's own perspective.

I recommend this book to readers intrigued by thought-provoking explorations of theological concepts within the Christian faith. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on the problems of suffering and redemption, this book offers innovative insights that challenge traditional explanations. It's ideal for individuals with a strong interest in theology who appreciate a logical framework grounded in scientific and emotional considerations. While the book delves deeply into complex theological concepts, it remains accessible, making it suitable for a wide audience.
- Although the Christian faith isn't there, the rest of it is. I'm Intrigued to read this book. A fantastic review. Thank you.

Well done review! The focal points of this book are actually quite timely for me on a personal level for a myriad of reasons. With that, I’m always on the lookout for fresh perspectives in this realm. Taking the complexity into account, I’d have to be fully tuned in when I read it, but I think it’d be worth the effort (if any).

"The Advent of Time" by Indignus Servus is a book that offers a unique solution to the problem of human suffering. The book was written from the position of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I like that the author studied the themes of faith, love, and reason in the book.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The Advent of Time presents its arguments in an engaging and accessible manner, making complex theological concepts understandable to a wide audience. While it primarily offers a singular perspective on theological matters, it encourages readers to engage critically with the material and consider alternative interpretations. 
 
That's new. Most religious books favor dogmatic assertions over critical thinking.
I don't know if the author has the answer to the question of human pain, but it sure is a universal experience.
Thank you!
