This theodicy is based upon Huw Everett III's many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, whereby reality is not what it intuitively seems; instead, it is a multiverse comprising a vast number of universes, and we simultaneously exist in many of them. This multiplicity of existence results in a balance of moral good and evil across the multiverse, and through this, the expression of free will—an attribute valued by both persons and God— flourishes. The theodicy explains the coexistence of God and natural evil through the necessity of an evolutionary process that ensures the emergence of free-willed persons. Notwithstanding this universal perspective of Creation, a resurrection possibility would mitigate individual suffering resulting from this divine holistic strategy. Hunt examines this possibility in light of the many-worlds interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I: The Composition of Reality: Hidden Worlds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Quantum Mechanics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Many-Worlds Interpretation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Quantum Multiverse \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART 2: The Problem of Evil: Defense\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Deductive Arguments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Inductive and Abductive Arguments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Bayesian Arguments \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART 3: A Free Will Theodicy: An Exordium \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Alternative Theodicies \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: The Ethical Perspective \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Free Will \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART 4: A Free-Will Theodicy: Evil and Many Worlds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Moral Evil and the Quantum Multiverse \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Natural Evil and the Quantum Multiverse \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Resurrection and the Quantum Multiverse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix 1 : Probability Theory \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix 2 : Is God a Rule-consequentialist?: Bayesian and Total Probability Arguments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix 3: Propositional Logic: Notation and Rules\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042667495767,"sku":"9781793634290","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/evil-and-many-worlds-a-free-will-theodicy-9781793634290","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
