All human beings--indeed, all creatures--experience evil in various
forms. How can the hurtful and harmful aspects of life be
understood and faced? What differing perspectives on evil can be
gained from - Behavioral science and psychology - Biblical faith
and the history of Christian thought - Contemporary thinkers -
Religious traditions of the East In a constructive conclusion,
Schwarz assesses the pervasiveness of evil, human freedom in the
face of evil, the personification of evil, and the hope for the end
of evil. This book provides the basis of hope for a just and humane
life. It is a book for our time. Evil is neither a primeval decree
nor an inescapable fate but has its origin in a power that always
denies or negates. While we are all caught in the dragnet of evil,
we are not helpless victims, as if evil were simply an imperious
"it." We can fight evil and indeed should do so. --from the Preface
Evil is [a] comprehensive treatment of a complex and currently
interesting subject. The historical and theological treatment will
be as competent as everyone who has read a Schwarz book before will
expect. [In] the final chapter Schwarz concludes [that]: evil
exists as opposition to God in our natural world; humans
participate freely in evil and morally transgress; a price is paid
for choosing wrongly; evil will not necessarily continue in order
to highlight the good by contrast; the liberated Christian bears
good fruit amidst this evil; and God has set boundaries for evil
that it cannot overstep. -- Pastor Ronald E. C. Grissom, St. Paul
Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bridgeport, Ohio Hans Schwarz provides
a kind of textbook history of the ways thinkers in our time have
tried to account for evil. . . .The book is succinct, fair to its
subjects, and helpful to those who want introductions to these
hypotheses. -- The Christian Century Hans Schwarz is Professor of
Systematic Theology and Contemporary Theology at the University of
Regensburg, Germany. He is the author or editor of more than two
dozen books.
