The problem of evil & the problem of God /
Phillips, D. Z.
The problem of evil & the problem of God / [print] Problem of evil and the problem of God D.Z. Phillips. - first Fortress Press edition. - Minneapolis : Fortress Press, (c)2005. - xxiii, 280 pages ; 22 cm.
D. Z. Phillips' systematic attempt to discuss the problem of evil. He argues that the problem is inextricably linked to our conception of God. In an effort to distinguish between logical and existential problems of evil, that inheritance offers us distorted accounts of God's omnipotence and will. In his interlude, Phillips argues that, as a result, God is ridiculed out of existence, and found unfit to plead before the bar of decency. However, Phillips elucidates a neglected tradition in which we reach a different understanding of God's presence amidst suffering, and addresses the ultimate question of how God can be said to be with those who are crushed by life's afflictions.
