It's a thorough refutation of C.S. Lewis's The Problem of Pain. Unfortunately, both works depend on a world view that the Bible can only be approached literally where in reality a majority of Christians in the world treat the Bible metaphorically. It's precisely this evangelical literalist prejudice that kept me away from Christianity for so long. Wide reading has brought me back.
