Using yet untapped resources from moral and political philosophy this book seeks to answer the
question of whether an all good God who is presumed to be all powerful is logically compatible
with the degree and amount of moral and natural evil that exists in our world. It is widely
held by theists and atheists alike that it may be logically impossible for an all good all
powerful God to create a world with moral agents like ourselves that does not also have at
least some moral evil in it. James P. Sterba focuses on the further question of whether God is
logically compatible with the degree and amount of moral and natural evil that exists in our
world. The negative answer he provides marks a new stage in the age-old debate about God's
existence.
