““Theologians and believers alike are summoned today simultaneously by the suffering of the cosmos and the suffering of multiple and diverse human individuals and communities. How to respond? In her timely volume If God Is for Us, Gloria Schaab aids us with diverse resources from throughout the Christian tradition, demonstrating that no single thought system suffices, but each can contribute to a prism of insights into the mystery of God encountered amidst suffering. At once compact and comprehensive, If God Is for Us offers a plurality of Christian perspectives in response to the plurality of suffering in our world. Schaab’’s contribution is an invaluable resource for the theology classroom, for adult study groups, and particularly for religious communities engaged in sustaining the tension between the summons of the cosmos and justice on the ground.””
