Synopsis

How could evil exist under a perfectly good, all-powerful God? This concise study surveys the major theories and present-day questions that surround theodicy, offering a clear, accessible defense of divine holiness in the face of moral evil. It places the problem in historical and philosophical context, guiding readers through complex debates with careful, grounded reasoning.

In this edition, you’ll find:
- A survey of classic explanations for evil, from ancient philosophy to modern theology.
- A close look at the tension between free will and divine governance, including big-name debates from Calvin and Luther to Leibniz and Edwards.
- Discussion of the nature of moral responsibility, the eternity of punishment, and the good purposes attributed to suffering.
- A framework for understanding how different views align with or challenge the idea of God’s holiness and justice.

Ideal for readers of theology, philosophy of religion, and historical debates on the problem of evil, the book helps clarify why theodicy remains a central question in the study of God and the world.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
