logical, dry philosophy
If you are looking for a thorough, logical, philosophical explanation of various reasons a good God can permit evil, this is it. It is well explained, and while full of complex logic, does explain it all for the philosophical beginner.
Because these explanations are a real part of the text, it takes a long time and a lot of attention to read - it is not fast-paced!
It does a good job of showing various ways in which belief in God is a credible, logical, sensible position.
That said, if you are looking for an emotionally satisfying explanation of why God permits evil - if you want more than a bare explantion - you will not be satisfied. This is a book based on logic, and doesn't ever engage with the sheer awfulness of evil, or give you the impression that these explanations are really meant to be lived.
