God, Evil, and Morality: A Debate

Is evil evidence against the existence of God? In this lively discussion, atheists Michael Shermer and Gary Whittenberger debate theist Brian Huffling about this question. James Sterba (atheist) and Richard Howe (theist) provide a commentary on the debate. The existence of God is the most important question that one can ask. In this work, the reader will hear arguments for and against God’s existence as it relates to evil and suffering in a way that will appeal to scholars, pastors, and laypeople alike.
