Více o knize

Exploring the problem of evil, this book examines how ancient Greek and Latin authors, both pagan and Christian, approached this complex issue. Covering a chronological span from the classical to the end of the pagan era, it dedicates significant attention to Christianity, arguing that the problem becomes particularly acute for Christians due to their belief in a personal God. Additionally, it highlights the similarities between early Christian thought and Greek philosophies, especially Platonism, in their questioning of evil's existence rather than that of the divine.
