The Problem of evil Book

Good introduction to the Problem of Evil as set forth in contemporary philosophy. I originally read this book for a course in 2005, and it was published in 1992. Twenty five years later, it could use an update, although most of the work does not suffer from age. I found parts three and four to be particularly useful, although I did find Lewis Ford's excerpt on Process Theodicy to be lacking. While it is clear from the introduction that Mr. Peterson takes a certain side on the Problem of Evil, I found the readings to be pretty even-handed in regards to showing the best of both the theistic and atheistic thought. I think those that come into this book with a selected view will be challenged, no matter what that view is.
