Reviews
'... clearly written, carefully argued and eminently fair to opponents... This is an impressive work.' International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion 'All of this is fascinating stuff, whether one is a philosopher or not. For the most part, the book [...] is systematic and engaging. Those of us who fled philosophy in terror of texts that suddenly break out into arcane mathematical equations can rest easy! Keller writes well. ... [His] book will hopefully invite us all to think more critically about God and the problem of evil.' Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae

Synopsis
Why do bad things happen, even to good people? If there is a God, why aren't God's existence and God's will for humans more apparent? And if God really does miracles for some people, why not for others? This book examines these three problems of evil - suffering, divine hiddenness, and unfairness if miracles happen as believers claim - to explore how different ideas of God's power relate to the problem of evil.Keller argues that as long as God is believed to be all-powerful, there are no adequate answers to these problems, nor is it enough for theists simply to claim that human ignorance makes these problems insoluble. Arguing that there are no good grounds for the belief that God is all-powerful, Keller instead defends the understanding of God and God's power found in process theism and shows how it makes possible an adequate solution to the problems of evil while providing a concept of God that is religiously adequate., Why do bad things happen, even to good people?

    Books arrived in 2 days, even though the shipping estimate was 5 days. The set of books packed very well and were in pristine condition. They came better than described. They were listed as very good, but are like new. I couldn't be happier. I would certainly buy from this seller again. This was a great value for the price. Thank you so much!!

    The book came packaged extremely well, and left no chance of being damaged in shipping. The book sadly did not come with a dust cover I expected, but after contacting the seller and asking if they maybe forgot it or could find it lying around somewhere, they refunded me half of the price for the inconvenience. Extremely helpful and kind customer service. Thank you Nick!
