The Cambridge Companion to The Problem of Evil
For many centuries philosophers have been discussing the problem of evil one of the greatest problems of intellectual history. There are many facets to the problem, and for students and scholars unfamiliar with the vast literature on the subject, grasping the main issues can be a daunting task. This Companion provides a stimulating introduction to the problem of evil. More than an introduction to the subject, it is a state-of-the-art contribution to the field which provides critical analyses of and creative insights on this long-standing problem. Fresh themes in the book include evil and the meaning of life, beauty and evil, evil and cosmic evolution, and anti-theodicy. Evil is discussed from the perspectives of the major monotheistic religions, agnosticism, and atheism. Written by leading scholars in clear and accessible prose, this book is an ideal companion for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and scholars across the disciplines.
Chad Meister has published extensively on the subject of evil, including Evil: A Guide for the Perplexed (2012), God and the Problem of Evil: Five Views (2017), and The History of Evil in six volumes (2017). He has done research on the topic at the University of Oxford and as the William Patton Fellow at the John Hick Centre for Global Philosophy of Religion. His book, coedited with William Lane Craig and entitled God Is Great, God Is Good (2009), won the Christianity Today Book award. At Bethel College he received the Professor of the Year award for teaching excellence.
Paul K. Moser is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. He is the author of The God Relationship (Cambridge University Press, 2017); The Elusive God (Cambridge University Press, 2010), winner of national book award from the Jesuit Honor Society; The Evidence for God (Cambridge University Press, 2010); The Severity of God (Cambridge University Press, 2013); Knowledge and Evidence (Cambridge University Press, 1991); and Philosophy after Objectivity (1993); coauthor of Theory of Knowledge (1997); editor of Jesus and Philosophy (Cambridge University Press, 2008) and The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology (2005); coeditor of The Wisdom of the Christian Faith (Cambridge University Press, 2012). He is the coeditor with Chad Meister of Cambridge Studies in Religion, Philosophy, and Society.
This is a series of companions to major topics and key figures in theology and religious studies. Each volume contains specially commissioned chapters by international scholars, which provide an accessible and stimulating introduction to the subject for new readers and nonspecialists.
