Klappentext zu „Is a Good God Logically Possible? “
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.

Pressezitat
"Sterba does offer a sustained argument against many contemporary theodicies, especially those that appeal to the value of soul-making and free will. ... it is a valuable contribution to the literature on the problem of evil." (Michael Almeida, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, Vol. 87, 2020)
