About this title

Synopsis

This book investigates the recurrent philosophical problem of suffering in the world and its compatibility with the existence of a benevolent and all-powerful deity. The author endeavors to demonstrate the falsity of the Epicurean notion that the world is merely the product of random chance, as well as the Gnostic belief that the creator of the cosmos is an intrinsically evil being. Instead, the author maintains that the universe is the creation of a benevolent and intelligent being and that its imperfections are necessary consequences of the inherent limitations of existence itself. Drawing on a broad range of philosophical and religious traditions, this book offers a comprehensive examination of this enduring philosophical quandary, providing readers with a fresh perspective on one of humanity's most fundamental questions.
