"... clearly written, carefully argued and eminently fair to opponents... This is an impressive work." - International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion

"All of this is fascinating stuff, whether one is a philosopher or not. For the most part, the book...is systematic and engaging. Those of us who fled philosophy in terror of texts that suddenly break out into arcane mathematical equations can rest easy! Keller writes well...[His] book will hopefully invite us all to think more critically about God and the problem of evil." - Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae

"This book successfully demonstrates that theodicy is not restricted to human suffering, a point that needs constant reiterating, in view of the vast amount of suffering and the small percentage that humans make up of creation. Because pain, suffering, and extinction are intrinsic to the evolutionary process, the world that is 'good' is also a world that is groaning in travail and subjected by God to this travail. This is a welcome addition to the literature regarding theodicy." - Heythrop
