Reviews

The book is highly recommended for graduate students and professionals; its readers will be challenged to more explicitly clarify and evaluate their own understanding of God's ethics. * Timothy D. Miller, Lee University, Religious Studies Review * I am glad that this book was written, for I look forward to the discussion it will undoubtedly inspire. Our understanding of the argument from evil has progressed greatly in the last half century or so - witness, for instance, the distinctions between the logical problem of evil and the evidential problem of evil, and between theodicies and skeptical theism. I believe that further exploration of the idea of God's own ethics will lead to yet more progress in our understanding of the argument from evil, and Murphy has surely helped us down this path of progress. * Craig Duncan, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
