Excerpt from The Problem of Evil: Seven Lectures

The Translator, pressed by the duties of a laborious pastorate, would not have imposed on himself the task of presenting M. Naville's work in an English dress but for a very deep conviction of its adaptation to be useful in the present state of thought in this country. Young men especially, perplexed by the sophistries of an unscrupulous and daring infidelity, will find their account in the perusal of this volume, while all who have felt the terrible fascination of the subject may find some instruction and help.

Excerpt from The Problem of Evil: Seven Lectures

The Lectures collected into this volume were offered to the public of Geneva, and afterwards to the public of Lausanne, under the title of The Problem of Evil, a Philosophical Study.

Very large audiences having responded to this invitation, it became necessary to lay aside scholastic terms and expressions, in order to present the results of scientific investigation in a literary form, and in a style intelligible to all. It was no less necessary to preserve the philosophical character of the proposed study, to grapple with the difficulties of the problem, and to refrain from substituting rhetoric for argument. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to meet the twofold requirements imposed by the nature of the subject and the composition of the audience.
