Description
Summary:In Chapter 3 of this volume, Klaas Kraay presented a critique of William Hasker's necessity-of-gratuitous-evil defense against the evidential problem of evil (the NGE defense). Hasker's response here in Chapter 4 contends that the defense survives all of Kraay's objections. Most important of these objections is the contention that there is far too much gratuitous evil to be accounted for by Hasker's defense.
