The Problem of Evil

Fr Martin d'Arcy was a famous apologist for the Catholic Faith and an eminent philosopher. He was also responsible for a number of high profile conversions including Evelyn Waugh.

In this classic text he turns his vast intellect to the age old problem of why God permits innocent suffering. His answers are tightly argued and he concludes that evil 'casts no shadow on God but rather - where sin abounded, there most of all did Love abound'.
