The most forceful philosophical objections to belief in God arise from the existence of evil Bad things happen in the world and it is not clear how this is compatible with the existence of an allpowerful and perfectly loving being Unsurprisingly then philosophers have formulated powerful arguments for atheism based on the existence of apparently unjustified suffering These arguments give expression to what we call the problem of evilThis volume is an engaging introduction to the philosophical problem of evil Daniel Speak provides a clear overview of the main lines of reasoning in this debate and argues for the defensibility of theistic belief in the face of evil He fleshes out the distinction between theodicy and defense and guides the reader through the logical evidential and hiddenness versions of the problem In an accessible and beautifully written account Speak describes the central issues surrounding the problem of evil in a way that clarifies both the complex reasoning and specialised terminology of the topicThe Problem of Evil is an ideal introduction to contemporary debates over one of the most gripping perennial questions Read either on its own or alongside the primary materials it deftly covers students and scholars will find this volume a terrific resource for understanding the challenges to religious belief raised by evil
