The Question of Evil...: A Practical Theodicy for the 21st Century

"The Logical Problem of evil" comes down to how we reconcile the existence of evil and human suffering with an all powerful, all knowing and all good God. This argument is best known from the Greek philosopher Epicurus, later presented by Enlightenment philosopher David Hume, and continues to be debated by modern thinkers both academic and armchair. Utilized often by atheists and agnostics as a way to dispute the existence of God, a revisit of the topic in light of today's evils is warranted. In light of renewed wars in Europe, children being killed on urban streets or while simply being in school, sex trafficking and other evils that have many questioning the existence of a good God who allows these things to take place author Richard Graves gives this basic practical and theological position to equip modern theists with the basic tools to navigate this argument.
