The God Beyond Belief : In Defence of William Rowe'S Evidential Argument from Evil

This study of Professor William Rowe's defense of atheism on the basis of evil assesses the literature that has developed in response to Rowe's work, closely examining two strategies: mystery - the idea that God may have reasons beyond our comprehension for permitting evil; and theodicy - explanations as to why God allows evil to flourish. The book unearths difficulties in both, concluding that the God of theism must be "beyond belief."
