Reviews

This collection of essays exemplifies the increasingly specific and sophisticated nature of the devates now taking place among philosophers of religion...sophisticated and thought-provoking.
*Graham Gould, The Journal of Theological Studies Vol 62 Part 2 Oct 2011*

the volume succeeds in making explicit the charges against the God of the Bible while also making available a variety of defenses by some of the most outstanding contributors to philosophy of religion today.
*Charles Taliaferro, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews*

a solid, thought-provoking, and interesting book ... a reading feast ofcontemplation
*Peter Admirand, Philosophy in Review*

the book contains a variety of theistic approaches to dealing with the problem of divine evil. ... Whatever one makes of divine evil, this book most certainly promotes the human good.
