The Problem of Evil: A Reader

Rating:
Summary: a great introduction...
Review: The book is a collection of writings, sorted chronogically, that includes the most important thinkers in philosophy concerning the "Problem of Evil"--if God is omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent, then why does evil exist? And what are ways to explain/cope with it in our everyday lives? Even if not interested in this specific issue, readers interested in philosophy would be well served to read the works contained within. Each work comes with a short introduction from author Mark Larrimore that is very well written and to the point. As a former student of his, I would highly recommend Larrimore's "Problem of Evil" to anyone and everyone who wants an introduction to the subject.
