Book Synopsis
No one will deny that we live in a world where evil exists. But how are we to come to grips with human atrocity and its diabolical intensity? This work considers evil to be even more radically evil than previously thought and to have become all too familiar in everyday life.

Trade Review

"This book deserves a large and thoughtful readership.... the insights are worth the effort." —Robert L. Perkins, Stetson University, Int J Philos Religion, May 13, 2009 (online)


"In a world filled with war, torture, and cruelty, where millions of people die of diseases related to malnutrition or inadequate health care each year, Martin Beck Matuštík's book is an important and innovative inquiry into an age-old problem." —Rabbi Michael Lerner, Tikkun
