This book presents a theodicy based on the Everettian multiverse interpretation of quantum mechanics and discusses implications across a broad specter of topics–including quantum resurrection! Quantum mechanics and multiverse theory are topics that need to be explored much more by theology/philosophy of religion, and this book is full of creative new ideas worth reflecting upon. Especially interesting are the proposals on mind and brain, determinism, and free will, which one can learn from and accept regardless of whether one accepts the existence of a multiverse.
