Adams argues that much of the discussion in analytic philosophy or
religion over the last forty years has offered too narrow an
understanding of the problem. The ground rules accepted for the
discussion have usually led philosophers to avert their gaze from
the worst "horrendous" evils and their devastating impact on human
lives. They have agreed to debate the issue on the basis of
religion-neutral values, and have focused on morals, an approach
that -- Adams claims -- is inadequate for formulating and solving
the problem of horrendous evils. She emphasizes instead the
fruitfulness of other evaluative categories such as purity and
defilement, honor and shame, and aesthetics.
If redirected, philosophical reflection on evil can, Adams's
book demonstrates, provide a valuable approach not only to theories
of God and evil but also to pastoral care.
