The Problem of Evil in the Ancient World

Philosophy

“This rich book uniquely offers a splendid panorama of reflections on evil in classical antiquity, from the origins of Greek literature and philosophy to the various formulations of the problem of evil in early Christianity and in patristic literature until the fifth century. Mark Edwards, who perfectly marshals all these highly different fields, writes in a clear and sharp style, succeeding to be this rare thing: at once a philosophical and a theological historian.”
