In this book the author surveys the meaning of tragedy in ancient and modern sources, and contrasts non-Christian with Christian ideas about it. Looking to the creation account in Genesis and the story of Job, the author affirms that chaos or disorder still exists in creation but is bounded by God's presence. He discusses how the resurrection of Jesus is the final victory over tragedy, which God shares with his people, and gives example of how people have chosen to bring something life-affirming and redemptive out of the depths of their suffering"--
