Product Description

Product Description
The first half of this book concludes that, if human reason is master, there seems to be no way of equating a good and powerful God with evil in the world. In the second half, searching for a solution, the author takes as his starting point St Augustine's credo, "I believe in order that I may understand". He builds up a series of statements which express the central Christian convictions in relation to the problem of evil, a viewpoint which the reader may accept or not.

About the Author
Dr Peter Vardy is lecturer in Philosophy of Religion at London University's Heythrop College.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for AS and A Level Students, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
I found this book extremely useful during the course of my AS level studies on the philosophy of religion. Vardy outlines the main arguments in a concise and comprehendable format, often referring to scholars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The man, the legend.., 19 April 2009
By Mr. L. M. Hayes - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Now its rare i review a book, i enjoy reading them too much to spend time writing about them afterwords. I studied under Peter Vardy when i was at university and i honestly have to say the man is a legend of our time. His writing is concise and incredibly well researched, and his personal manner is beyond delightful. He has a flawlessly perfected a method of teaching that carries through in much of his writing, his puzzle books barely scrape the surface of what he has to offer and for anyone planning on studying philosophy or religion/theology his books will become the closest thing to clarity of thought available. He has the potential to become a modern father of philosophy, it is only his shrewdness and refusal to publish his own theories that keep him from his rightful seat next to god.....it would certainly be far more deserved than that 'other' bastard son!
