Book description
The Struggle With God by Paul Evdokimov is a profound exploration of the human encounter with God as lived tension, freedom, and transformation rather than passive belief.
Drawing deeply from Eastern Orthodox theology, the Church Fathers, Scripture, and modern existential thought, Evdokimov presents faith as a dynamic struggle—one marked by doubt, suffering, repentance, and love. He argues that authentic spirituality is forged not in certainty or comfort, but in the ongoing confrontation between human brokenness and divine grace.
At the heart of the book is the idea that humanity’s struggle with God mirrors God’s loving struggle for humanity. Evdokimov explores themes such as:
-
freedom and responsibility
-
sin and repentance
-
suffering and redemption
-
the image of God in the human person
-
prayer as dialogue rather than technique
Written in a style that is both theologically rich and spiritually accessible, The Struggle With God bridges ancient Christian wisdom with modern concerns, making it relevant to believers wrestling with faith in a secular, fractured world.
