DESCRIPTION

Noted philosopher William Hasker explores a full range of issues concerning the problem of evil. Having taken account of the current state of the discussion and squarely facing some of the most trenchant arguments marshaled by John K. Roth and D. Z. Phillips, Hasker forges a constructive answer in some depth showing why the evil in the world does not provide evidence of a moral fault in God, the world's creator and governor. A fresh and provocative contribution to the ongoing discussion of theodicy.

"Hasker's book is a model of first-rate philosophy. Hasker is a master at summarizing and getting hold of the core of the issues at stake. Through it all there shines a beautiful mind that manifests a heart on fire with honesty, compassion and robust faith." — William J. Abraham, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University
