Inhaltsangabe
Confront the problem of evil with a clear, rigorous examination of how a benevolent God can coexist with suffering.
This thoughtful exploration argues that pain and wrongdoing challenge our view of goodness, while offering a reasoned framework for understanding why the world might be arranged to achieve a greater good. It weighs different theories—from viewing evil as a necessary obstacle to human progress to considering the limits of divine power—and explains why some popular solutions stumble under logical scrutiny. The discussion aims to clarify what we can reasonably expect from a creator and what questions remain open for belief.
- How conscience, good and evil, and the nature of God relate in a coherent explanation.
- The debate over whether God’s plans could require some evil as a means to a greater end.
- Arguments for and against theories like pre‑existing souls or limited power.
- A careful look at how science, philosophy, and theology intersect in the problem of evil.
The book is a good fit for readers seeking a careful, measured approach to one of philosophy’s oldest questions.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes on the topic of the problem of evil, mainly from the point of view of a thoroughgoing theist. Rather than attempt to argue that there is no such thing as evil, the author instead accepts the premise that the world has a purpose and attempts to explain why that purpose necessitates the existence of evil. One way that evil is discussed is through the concept of free will, which the author presents as an integral part of God's plan despite the fact that free will has led to the existence of sin. Limitations to God's power are also explored, as the author posits that God is not omnipotent to the extent that some might assume, and instead that God's power is limited by the nature of His own creation. This book is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of a complex and age-old question, providing readers with new perspectives and insights to consider.
