Dr.
Whitney has focused his research on
various aspects of Christian Theology, in particular,
"The
Problem of God and Evil'. He has written several
books and dozens of book chapters, academic articles
and reviews, and given many interviews on this
important theological (and deeply personal) issue.
His book, Theodicy:
An Annotated Bibliography on the Problem of God and Evil (New
York: Garland Publications, 1993),
revised and expanded for a new publisher (Bowling
Green State University Press: Philosophy Documentation
Center)
in 1998, remains
the essential resource for scholars working in the field
and has been helpful to many others who seek insight into
the problem of God and suffering. Dr. Whitney wrote
the "Evil" and "Theodicy" entries
in the New
Catholic Encyclopedia (Catholic
U of America/Gale Group, 2002),
the popular book, What
Are They Saying About God and Evil? (New
York: Paulist Press,1989--currently being revised
and expanded for another publisher to give more attention
to traditional Christianity and biblical teaching on suffering).
and many other publications, including the entry on "The
Problem of Evil" in the New
Westminster Dictionary of Christian Theology (John
Knox/Westminster Press), Evil
and the Process God (New
York/Toronto: Edwin Mellen Press, 1985) and
the opening chapter in The
Big Argument (Strand: Australia,
2005 and Master Books, USA, 2006). Some of his
major writings on the problem of evil, other than his own
books, are published in academic articles, including The
Southern
Journal of Philosophy, Studies in Religion (Canada), Philosophy
Research Archives: Journal of Philosophical Research, The
Personalist Forum, Sophia
(Australia),
International Journal of Philosophy
of Religion, International Philosophical Quarterly, Horizons:
Journal of the College Theology Society, etc.,
and in book chapters, especially God,
Literature, and Process Thought (Ashgate:
London and New York, 2002), and Hartshorne,
Process Theology and Philosophy (Albany:
State University of New York Press, 1989), Non-Violence:
Central to Christian Spirituality (new
York and Toronto: Edwin Mellen: 1982), and The
Reality of God (Windsor: Canterbury
College, 1982), etc. He also was Editor of
the academic journal Process
Studies for 14 years, publishing 29 issues
of that journal.
