Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book offers an overview of the problem of why God allows evil to happen. It presents the reflections of classical and contemporary thinkers on how God governs the cosmos . Whilst arguing that a comprehensive explanation is not available, the author suggests that, in spite of the existence of evil, God can ultimately be trusted. |
