If God is good and virtuous, why is there so much vicious evil in this world? Why does God let pain and evil fall on innocent little children? Why does he not intervene? Where is God when it hurts? This groundbreaking book solves an enigma that has plagued humanity since times immemorial. Using the concept of tough love, Vicious Evil! Virtuous God? untangles the age-old Epicurus's riddle, resolves the contemporary "problems of evil," and provides some practical means to manage the evils in our lives and help others in their suffering. Vicious Evil! Virtuous God? answers our many heart-wrenching questions in this "vale of suffering," brings us comfort in our tribulations, and equips us to make a defense for the hope that we share in Christ.

Robert Merrihew Adams has been a leader in renewing philosophical respect for the idea that moral obligation may be founded on the commands of God. This collection of Adams' essays, two of which are previously unpublished, draws from his extensive writings on philosophical theology that discuss metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical issues surrounding the concept of God--whether God exists or not, what God is or would be like, and how we ought to relate ourselves to such a being. Adams studies the relation between religion and ethics, delving into an analysis of moral arguments for theistic belief. In several essays, he applies contemporary studies in the metaphysics of individuality, possibility and necessity, and counterfactual conditionals to issues surrounding the existence of God and problems of evil.
