Critic Reviews

“Which worldview best addresses the various specifics of arguably the thorniest philosophical problem of all? In this careful and thorough analysis, Campbell probes the most central cognate dilemmas in order to evaluate the ability of each perspective to provide the best insights without avoiding the toughest sub-issues. The chief benefit of this volume is being guided through the maze by an insider. Highly recommended. --Gary R. Habermas, Distinguished Research Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy, Liberty Universit”

Amid the sea of books dealing with the problem of evil, Ronnie Campbell's work truly stands out. By bringing to bear philosophy of religion, religious studies, and analytic theology, Campbell argues that a robust, "thick" Christian theism explains evil as well as or better than rival worldviews. I highly recommend this creative volume for philosophers and theologians alike, and indeed anyone troubled by the problem of evil (as we all should be). --Garrett J. DeWeese, Professor at large, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
