Could a Good God Permit So Much Suffering? presents a debate about whether the kind of world we live in, ridden with horrendous evil, is compatible with the existence of the all-good, all-powerful God of traditional theism. James Sterba puts the case against, and Richard Swinburne argues in favour.
Exploring the interconnectedness of justice, the book argues that rationality inherently demands morality, linking minimal libertarian principles with welfare, equality, and feminist agendas. It emphasizes the mutual support among various justice movements, including feminist, racial, and multicultural. The author also reconciles anthropocentric and biocentric ethics and examines the moral implications of different forms of political action, from legal protest to revolutionary efforts. This thought-provoking work is suitable for diverse academic fields, including ethics and peace studies.
