The recent philosophic literature that revives the case for theism does not ordinarily take in the evidence for providential intervention that’s to be found in ordinary experience. For many people, such experience has tremendous impact, yet to date, philosophy has offered no warrant for treating it as anything other than a subjective view of what, objectively, remains mere coincidence.

We meet with evil in the ordinary course of experience, as we try to live our life stories. It's not a myth. It's a mysterious but quite real phenomenon. How can we recognize it? How can we learn to resist it? Amazingly, philosophers have not been much help. A Good look at Evil maps the actual terrain - of lived ideas and situations - showing how to recognize evil for what it is: The perennial and present threat to a good life.
