Why do humans do evil? Is evil a spiritual or a cosmic problem? Why, in the end, does evil exist? Discover the answer to these and other provocative questions in Why Evil Exists. Award-winning Professor Charles Mathewes offers you a richly rewarding encounter with dynamic inquiries into Western civilization's greatest thinking on this critical subject. Covering nearly 5,000 years of human history and invoking the perspectives of many of the West's most brilliant minds, these 36 lectures probe intimately into how human beings have conceived of evil, how they've grappled with it, and how they've worked to oppose it.
