Atheism and the Problem of Evil motivates, constructs, and defends two arguments from evil against “core theism.” Core theism is the thesis that an omnipotent, omniscient, and loving agent created the cosmos. Core atheism is the denial of that thesis. Each argument involves comparing core theism to an alternative hypothesis and showing that the alternative is much more probable than core theism, which implies that core theism is very probably false. In the case of the first “decis...

First and Second Thessalonians are likely the earliest surviving records from the primitive Christian era. Both appear to have been written a mere twenty years after the Lord’s ministry closed.
