Overview

In this clear, concise, and thorough book, Norman L. Geisler carefully answers tough questions about the existence of evil. Using step-by-step explanations and compelling examples, he walks the reader through time-tested answers but also provides a new approach that revolves around whether or not this world is the “best of all possible worlds.” This all adds up to comforting news for believers: we can rest assured that God is both loving and all-powerful.

Top Highlights

“rational and moral choices are only possible in a world of regular events.” (Page 88)

“The best way to comprehend the basis of a free act is to examine the three possible alternatives. A free act is either uncaused, caused by another, or self-caused. That is, it is undetermined, determined by another, or self-determined.” (Pages 30–31)

“‘[When I was an atheist] my argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line’” (Page 13)

“There is nothing that happens apart from God knowing, planning, and controlling it for His purposes” (Page 23)

“we can only know something is evil (not good) if we know what is good” (Page 13)
