God and Evil

Some resources from Desiring God for future references

Does God Author Sin? (1/4)
Does God Cause Sin? (2/4)
Does God Permit Sin? (3/4)
The Author-Story Model (4/4)

I find it interesting that whenever the Bible speaks of Man's objection to God's "hand" in "bringing about" or "ordaining" evil, its defense does not consist of an attempt to placate or soothe Man's perceived sense of injustice, but rather rebuts the objection with a simple declaration of His Transcendence and of Man's ignorance and his non-right to question His motives and plans.

Perhaps there is a mystery to this "problem"
