The discussion of the problem of evil has been a contentious one in the history of philosophy and theology. We have chosen and present here some of the more popular books dealing with this issue. If you are looking for a specific book not listed here, use the search engine in the left column to see if your book is available.


Evil threatens human reason, for it challenges our hope that the world makes sense. For eighteenth-century Europeans, the Lisbon earthquake was manifest evil. Today we view evil as a matter of human cruelty, and Auschwitz as its extreme incarnation. Examining our understanding of evil from the Inquisition to contemporary terrorism, Susan Neiman explores who we have become in the three centuries that separate us from the early Enlightenment. In the process, she rewrites the history of modern thought and points philosophy back to the questions that originally animated it.

Evil in Modern Thought : An Alternative History of Philosophy, by Susan Neiman
