'The arguments in this book are thought-provoking and insightful, and Tooley raises important challenges to classical theism. While there are resources available by which the theist can face these challenges, this calls attention to two of the chief merits of this book: it helps to generate fruitful discussion, and it will likely prompt theists and atheists alike to delve more deeply into the problem of evil. This volume will be especially valuable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in the philosophy of religion.' James Kintz, Religious Studies Review
