Peter Eavis, in a paper called “Where Was God When the Tsunamis Struck?” discusses a Christian perspective on the disaster. He tackles up front, several of the unhelpful “answers” to the question that believers often put forward. I always think it’s good when someone takes the wrong answers down a peg or two, as it hopefully means less people are hurt by (often well-meaning) mis-informed folks with bad answers that exacerbate their problem. If it werent the case, this book would never have been written.
