'What Southgate has attempted here is nothing less than courageous; whether he has succeeded will be up to the reader. I would recommend Theology in a Suffering World to all those who are interested in theodicy, suffering and impassibility, and the vexing question of natural and moral evil in the Christian life. Southgate's work should be commended as an honest look at difficult issues and indeed is an engaging contribution to theological studies concerning glory and suffering; it can be approached by theologians and ministers alike.'
