Early Modern Women and the Problem of Evil examines the concept of theodicy-the attempt to reconcile divine perfection with the existence of evil-through the lens of early modern female scholars. This timely volume knits together the perennial problem of defining evil with current scholarly interest in womens roles in the evolution of religious philosophy. Accessible for those without a background in philosophy or theology, Jill Graper Hernandezs text will be of interest to upper-level undergraduates as well as graduate students and researchers.
