The book is divided into several chapters, each of which delves into a different aspect of the origin of evil. The author explores the nature of evil, its effects on human life, and the various theories that attempt to explain its existence.

Throughout the book, the author draws on a variety of philosophical and theological sources, including the Bible, ancient Greek philosophy, and contemporary thinkers. He presents a nuanced and complex argument that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of evil and its relationship to God.
