THEODICY

This translation of Rosmini's Teodicea comes late in the series of translations produced and published by Rosmini House, but in Rosmini's output his discussion of the challenging subject of God's Providence preceded his foundational, philosophical work, A New Essay concerning the Origin of Ideas.

In this first decade of the 21st. century, a work dedicated totally to the action of the Divine Being in the universe would seem to be also totally irrelevant, if not meaningless, due to rampant agnosticism and growing atheism. There would be those who would say that theodicy has nothing to say to contemporary man. But millions of human beings on this planet still believe in the existence of an uncreated, infinite, eternal and supreme Being; they are not driven by superstition or primitive fear but by an intelligent conviction. For such people this book could have something helpful to offer.
