John Hick was one of the twentieth century's most influential and creative philosophers of religion. In this book, Sinkinson charts the development of Hick's thinking over his life and how this shaped his engagement with world religions.

It can be shown that the development of Hick's thought is the legacy of the liberal theology of the Enlig...

惡的問題，是一個對宗教信仰的巨大且永遠存在的挑戰。——約翰．希克約翰．希克是二十世紀西方宗教學與神學研究中極具影響力的哲學家，其著作《惡與慈愛的上帝》自1966年首次出版後，很快地被視為現代宗教哲學與神學研究的經典，隨後更成為哲學界激烈討論的核心。本書分為四個部分。第一部分闡釋神義論概念的背景，以及一元論與二元論的觀點對神義論提出的回答。接著在第二、第三部分，分別考察基督教對於世界上「惡」的兩種對立回應。奧古斯丁式神義論提出惡是善的缺乏，是人類濫用自由而墮落的過程；愛任紐式神義論則著眼於未來，認為最終上帝創造計畫的圓滿完成，將為這一切提供合理的解釋。從愛任紐觀點出發，希克在第四部分提出自己的論點，稱之為「靈魂鍛造之谷」的神義論。各種形式的惡，依然是一個深沉的謎團。然而，我們可以看到這個謎團——甚至包括人類和動物的苦難——或許隱藏著希克所稱的：「會有一種足以讓人在回顧整個人類經驗以及它的所有邪惡和苦難、聖潔和幸福時，讓它們變得可被接受的未來之善」。
