Media Reviews
God and the Problem of Evil is the best anthology on this important topic on the market. Highly recommended for classroom adoption. Bill Wainwright, University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee This is a splendid and unique collection. It contains both explicit and implicit dialogue. It is beautifully balanced between atheistic and theistic perspectives. And for its size it is remarkably comprehensive, covering both logical and evidential problems and both theodicies and defenses. Paul Draper, Florida International University
