I return to it again and again.

Though much work has been done on the subject since its original publication, this book has insights and a basic framework for addressing the issue which bring me back to it time and again. It is rooted in the wisdom of Augustine, Aquinas, and Lewis, but is contemporary without being technical. If you had trouble with Plantinga's _God, Freedom, and Evil_ but are beyond _Why Bad Things Happen to Good People_, then this book might be just the happy medium for you. On the other hand, don't skip it just because you're an analytical philosopher. There is some interesting stuff in here for you to.
