The words of Epicurus put the point concisely: \"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?\" This is a difficult problem to unpick and it remains an issue that continues to concern people and inspire debate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe problem has taken a variety of forms over the centuries; in fact, there are numerous \"problems\" of evil-problems for theists but, perhaps surprisingly, problems for non-theists as well. \u003cem\u003eEvil: A Guide for the Perplexed\u003c\/em\u003e explores, in a rigorous but engaging way, central challenges to religious belief raised by evil and suffering in the world as well as significant responses to them from both theistic and non-theistic perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chad Meister\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441121714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441121714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Chad Meister","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159382356223,"sku":"9781441121714","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3dbb0ea-daca-4f63-8189-74194aa1901e.jpg?v=1689082270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evil-chad-meister-9781441121714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
