    Good Introduction to God and Evil
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2016*

The reason I found this book helpful is because it does a pretty good job presenting Davies' interpretation of Saint Thomas Aquinas' view on God and evil, although I have not studied Aquinas' view any further than casually reading his book, Summa Theologica Book One. Davies thinks that Aquinas' approach to God and evil is the correct one. Davies examines and explains both what Aquinas meant to say and what he did not mean to say. Davies compares Aquinas' view on things such as good and bad, existence and essence, and occurring naturally and occurring accidentally. "For something to have essence, Aquinas thinks, it actually has to exist." He helps the reader to understand certain terms Aquinas uses such as esse, actually existing without being the source of its being actual. The word 'malum' is used when making reference to evil or badness. Malum ponenae refers to evil suffered, and malum culpae refers to evil done, both of which are not directly caused by God. In my opinion, the book falls short on examining different types of bad, evil, and suffering, or rather, perhaps Aquinas fell short on examining various cases of bad, evil, and suffering. There is a type of suffering for righteousness that is done with all strength and joy, which is not explored at all. The concept of 'satan' and the 'devil' is not mentioned at all, which is quite odd when trying to talk about evil. It sounds as though Aquinas is extremely cautious not to belittle evil and what to do about it. However, in my opinion, we can't dance around evil or avoid tackling it head on. The emphasis is more on how God exists in spite of there being evil in the world, and that God does not cause evil directly, and that God is still the highest good. For anyone who wants a lot of good facts about God and evil, or anyone who wants to get a taste for Aquinas' view on the matter, this book is pretty good.Author Brian Davies provides a large amount of interesting notes in the back 1/3 of the book. It is a good mix of sources, definitions, analysis, and opinions. This book is a good introduction to God and evil, but not necessarily how to handle it or what to do about it.

    ... Davies as it is a lucid introduction to Thomas' brilliant explication of God
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2017*

I have chosen to use this book by Brian Davies as it is a lucid introduction to Thomas'  brilliant explication of God, Good, an Evil as part of my course on "The Philosophy of Good & Evil" [PHL 480] in the School of Contuing Education, Providence College, R.I.  during the Fall Semester,  2017.  I am excited about relying upon this study because it unveils just enough of Scholatic Theology for non-theolgians, while keewpin with Aquijas' own focus on a philosophical approach to both Good and Evil.
