Recensioner i media

“Sterba does offer a sustained argument against many contemporary theodicies, especially those that appeal to the value of soul-making and free will. … it is a valuable contribution to the literature on the problem of evil.” (Michael Almeida, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, Vol. 87, 2020)
