From the Back Cover
"Perry Hendricks raises the discussion of skeptical theism to a new level of sophistication, relying on detailed arguments to support skeptical theism instead of just intuitions and analogies. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intellectual problem of evil."
-Paul Draper, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University

"Skeptical theism--which expresses skepticism about our ability to accurately evaluate divine permission of suffering and evil--is one of the most popular contemporary replies to the atheistic argument from evil. Perry Hendricks' book, Skeptical Theism, is a must-read work for anyone interested in this response to the problem of evil or in atheistic arguments more generally. It is chock-full of novel and compelling reasoning, both in support of skeptical theism and in response to all of the major objections to that view to date."
-Michael Bergmann, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University

Is evil evidence against the existence of God? Does divine hiddenness provide an evidential problem for theism? Is our evolutionary history evidence that God doesn't exist? Skeptical theism is the view that humans are cognitively limited in important ways that prevent us from providing affirmative answers to these evidential questions. In this book--the first monograph published on skeptical theism--Perry Hendricks gives careful, novel, and compelling arguments in favor of skeptical theism and provides a comprehensive defense of it, addressing all major objections to skeptical theism on offer. The implications of skeptical theism are teased out: it undermines the most prominent arguments for atheism on offer, which significantly lowers the epistemic status of atheism.
