One of the most intractable problems for the contemporary Anglo-American theist is reconciling the enormous amount of apparent gratuitous suffering in the world with the existence of an all-perfect deity. Suffering Belief reviews the leading attempts at justifying the existence of evil and salvaging a rational basis of belief in the traditional Western God. Through a systematic evaluation of the kinds of evil that most strongly call belief into question, such as genocide, natural catastrophes, animal suffering, and disease, it is shown that there is scant basis for continued belief in an all-perfect God and compelling reason for abandoning such a damaging construct.

Pressestimmen

«As a philosopher of religion who has defended theism for many years, I find it hard to convince myself that the criticisms of belief in God to be found in this book can all be refuted. I recommend the book highly to theists, agnostics, and atheists alike.» (Clement Dore, Chair of Philosophy, Emeritus, Vanderbilt University)
«Professor Weisberger's work is the most clear, careful, and comprehensive review and evaluation of the recent literature on the problem of evil that one could hope for. It is valuable both as a source book and as a complete study.» (Michael Hodges, Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University)
