He breaks the book down into sections for each chapter. And each chapter builds upon each other until you reach the climax at the end.
Chapter 1 - Evil is Still a Four-Letter Word
Chapter 2 - What Can God do About Evil?
Chapter 3 - Evil and the Crucified God
Chapter 4 - Imagine There's No Evil
Chapter 5 - Deliver Us From Evil
That last chapter in particular is worth the book. Like most of his books, Wright can frustrate you with slowness or "dullsville" of his writing but it all pans out by the time you reach chapter 5. His thoughts on forgiveness and how that works out in our lives and via God are like huge chunks of beef! (think biblical milk and meat and you're with me)
Basically, the church needs to live in a manner that reflects the plan of God. It's all worth it and we need to do a better job at it.
Great read from N.T. Wright
