Herbert McCabe was one of the most original and creative theologians
of recent years. Continuum has published numerous volumes of
unpublished typescripts left behind by him following his untimely
death in 2001. This book is the sixth to appear. McCabe was deeply
immersed in the philosophical theology of St Thomas Aquinas and was
responsible in part for the notable revival of interest in the thought
of Aquinas in our time. Here he tackles the problem of evil by
focusing and commenting on what Aquinas said about it. What should we
mean by words such as 'good', 'bad', 'being', 'cause', 'creation', and
'God'? These are McCabe's main questions. In seeking to answer them he
demonstrates why it cannot be shown that evil disproves God's
existence. He also explains how we can rightly think of evil in a
world made by God. McCabe's approach to God and evil is refreshingly
unconventional given much that has been said about it of late. Yet it
is also very traditional. It will interest and inform anyone seriously
interested in the topic.
