What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“A humane and scholarly yet eminently readable discussion from a Christian viewpoint of how evil can exist in a universe created out of love. Charles Taliaferro provides a compelling vision of a world disrupted by human freedom but redeemed by divine love. This attractively written book is ideal both for personal reading and for use in discussion groups.”

—Keith Ward, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus, University of Oxford



“Charles Taliaferro’s Cascade Companion to Evil is a brilliant work that could only have been forged out of years of careful research, contemplation, and classroom engagement on the subject. In its pages are nuggets of insight, key quotations from classic and contemporary experts, and rich examples that move the reader from theory to reality. You will not find a more erudite, wise, and engaging guide on the topic of evil.”

—Chad Meister, author of Evil: A Guide for the Perplexed and co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to the Problem of Evil
