Excellent introduction to subject,
By booklover "booklover" (Arlington, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: God And Evil: An Introduction To The Issues (Paperback)
The book is short only 134 pages but in its brief compass it provides an excellent introduction to the Problem of Evil.The book argues very effectively that the nature and extent of Evil does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the God of traditional theism (good, all-knowing, and all-powerful) does not exist. A course on Philosophy of Religion should probably balance the course with a book that argues more negatively. The chapters are 1 The Problem of Evil and It Place in Philosopy of Religion 2 The Logical Problem of Evil 3 The Function of Defense 4 The Probabistic Problem of Evil 5 The Problem of Gratuitous Evil 6 The Task Of Theodicy 7 The Existential Problem of Evil Amongst the philosophers discussed are Hume, Mackie, Plantinga, Flew, George Schlesinger, Walter Kaufmann, Paul Draper, Augustine, Hick, and Whitehead.
4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a good starting point,

This review is from: God And Evil: An Introduction To The Issues (Paperback)
This is one of the better places to start when tackling the question of God and the problem of evil. This short read is meaty enough to get you educated on the fly but if you are being probed to go deeper than you will have to find some other sources.
