Hey C.Vers,
Has anyone read this book, and if so how was it. You can look inside the book at amazon.com. Anyways thought some may know if this book is a good read or worth the money,

“The notion that God uses evils as a means to such higher goods is, … incompatible with the doctrine that he is omnipotent, and therefore does not need to use deplorable means to achieve his ends” (J.L. Mackie).

I haven't read the whole book, though I do own it. It can be tough reading for those who haven't studied much philosophy, but I think you'll find it a rewarding book. While I don't endorse her proposed solution, I do think Zagzebski does a fine job of laying out the problem, and I like her critiques of the Molinism and divine timelessness proposals.

Hope that helps.
Alan

Thanks Alan! By the way, have you heard anything with regards to Hasker's new book coming out in July regarding the philosophical essays on open theism?
