USDAugustine, perhaps the most important and most widely read Father of the Church, first became preoccupied with the problem of evil in his boyhood and this preoccupation continued throughout his life. This well-written, and highly-acclaimed study follows him in his progress towards a solution, and beyond, to consider the influence his thinking had upon the study of the problem of evil for a thousand years and more.
Reviews & endorsements
"A brilliant, stimulating, and engagingly written volume which loses nothing of its scholarly interest by its general appeal." Methodist Missionary Society
"Dr. Evans' book can be recommended to anyone seeking a way into the Augustinian world in general; and its epilogue, relating Augustine to the whole involved story of mediaeval and Reformation debates about evil, grace, and liberty, will be very valuable to the student of doctrinal history...[it] fills a notable gap in the literature." Religious Studies
