Reviews / Votes
The tone is civil, but the critical interactions are lively and uninhibited ... The book is rounded out with an excellent recommended reading section ... and an extensive bibliography emphasizing recent (some of it very recent) literature. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE * This an outstanding book on the problem of evil. Instead of addressing the enduring debate over the value of evil as evidence against theism, the contributors to this book consider how evil fits into their theistic or atheistic perspectives. Anyone interested in the problem of evil-even those who feel that they have already read enough about the topic-should find the book intriguing and eye-opening. * Yujin Nagasawa, Professor of Philosophy and Co-Director of the John Hick Centre for Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham, UK * Encountering Evil is an interesting volume, and worth a read. The book provides a concise overview of four approaches relevant to discussions of human morality, and relevant to discussions of the problem of evil. The book would provide a useful textbook for an undergraduate seminar on theism and morality, or a seminar on the problem of evil. * International Journal of Philosophical Studies * What a splendid book this is! [A]ll four make many excellent points. Would that all academic debates could be conducted in such a respectful manner. * Theology *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
