How will these resources help you?

The ‘problem of evil’ is an age-old philosophical question dating back to Epicurus, and remains a prevalent concern for humankind, featuring in a great many Religious Studies curricula. The resources in this list have been selected with the aim of covering some of the breadth and historical scope of this topic and include examples of the more recent evidential approach, as well as some of the classic core texts that refer back to thinkers across the millennia. They lend themselves to reading and research tasks, student discussion and evaluation, and to contextualisation and consolidation of knowledge, and may also be of use for other philosophy topics.
