The problem of evil has been an extremely active area of study in the philosophy of religion for many years. Until now, most sources have focused on logical, metaphysical, and epistemological issues, leaving moral questions as open territory. With the resources of ethical theory firmly in hand, this volume provides lively insight into this ageless philosophical issue.

James P. Sterba is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. He is author of many books, including From Rationality to Equality.
