One of the most perplexing problems facing believers in God is the
problem of evil. The words of Epicurus put the point concisely:
"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does
not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can,
but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and
God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" This is
a difficult problem to unpick and it remains an issue that
continues to concern people and inspire debate. The problem has
taken a variety of forms over the centuries; in fact, there are
numerous "problems" of evil-problems for theists but, perhaps
surprisingly, problems for non-theists as well. Evil: A Guide for
the Perplexed explores, in a rigorous but engaging way, central
challenges to religious belief raised by evil and suffering in the
world as well as significant responses to them from both theistic
and non-theistic perspectives.
