Description

The Problem of Evil in the Western Tradition explores how Western thinkers have grappled with the question of evil from ancient Israel to modern times. This comprehensive examination spans over two millennia, tracing the development of ideas about evil through various philosophical and theological perspectives. From the biblical account of Job to the scientific theories of modern genetics, Joseph Kelly examines the diverse ways in which Western thinkers have sought to understand and address the problem of evil. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of evil in Christian theology, the impact of science on our understanding of sin, and the literary representations of evil in various works. Joseph F. Kelly, Ph.D., is a professor of religious studies who brings his expertise to this engaging and thought-provoking exploration of one of humanity's most enduring challenges.
