Conclusion. 520 $a 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. -- $c Provided by publisher, page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Theodicy. 650 0 $a God $x Proof. 650 0 $a Philosophy and religion. 650 0 $a God $x Attributes. 650 0 $a Good and evil. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030054694 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302021438.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7495C3CAFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
