Conversations about God and the Problem of Evil

by Graham Oppy, Sam Lebens, Jason Werbeloff

Does God exist? Even in a world filled with suffering?

In this thoughtful conversation, leading thinkers Graham Oppy and Sam Lebens discuss God and the problem of evil.
Oppy, a prominent atheist, challenges the religious to explain how an all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing God could permit evil in the world.

Could God banish all past, present, and future evils?

Lebens argues that God might remove all the wrongdoing and suffering from history. Not just from the history books, but from history itself: one day there never will have been any war or disease.

If you want to understand the most challenging argument against God’s existence, and want an accessible, intelligent guide to the mysteries of creation, you’ll love this book.

[Andrea · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interessante, due dialoghi in cui teismo e ateismo vengono messi a confronto. Forse troppo breve e a volte troppo campato in aria.
