Overview

How does the Christian response to the problem of evil contrast with that of other worldviews?

Most attempts at answering the problem of evil either present a straightforward account of the truth claims of Christianity or defend a minimalist concept of God. This book is different. Inside, you'll examine four worldviews' responses to the problem of evil. Then, you'll hear the author's argument that Christian theism makes better sense of the phenomenon of evil in the world—equipping you to reach an informed conclusion.

This book's unique approach—integrating worldviews with apologetics with theology—will give you a better understanding of the debate surrounding the problem of evil, in both philosophy and theology.

Learn to think cogently and theologically about the problem of evil and Christianity's ability to answer its challenges with Worldviews and the Problem of Evil as your guide.
