Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“This little work is destined to be a spiritual classic, and it is so because it has so many pages that are of such simple (and rare) beauty. It is deeply biblical throughout, and draws not only on the wisdom of Aquinas but also of Fathers such as Irenaeus, spiritual writers such as Catherine of Siena, and the works of the artists Fra Angelico and André Rublev.” —Michael D. Torre, editor of An Yves R. Simon Reader
“The questions God without the Idea of Evil addresses are of concern to almost all Christians, and the relative lack of technicality with which Garrigues addresses them should make the book accessible to a considerably larger audience.” —Paul J. Griffiths, author of Regret
