Philosophical Perspectives 5

This is a rich, varied, interesting volume, one of the best in a fine series. A quick survey of its contents page should whet the appetite of anyone interested in current philosophy of religion: Tooley and Rowe offer versions of the argument from evil, while Alston and Van Inwagen counter that humans are not in the right epistemic position to judge such arguments sound. Marilyn Adams explores the non-moral aspect of the concept of sin, and William Mann the problems moral dilemmas pose for theistic ethical theory (introducing en route the intriguing concept of a moral monolemma).
