To complete a book on the theological problem of evil. The book consists of three parts: 1) a proof of the existence of God which is cogent only if the traditional atheistic argument from evil for the non-existence of God is unsound; 2) a critical examination and refutation of some recent, interesting attempt to refute the atheistic argument; 3) a critical examination and defense of the thesis that the atheistic argument can be refuted by the consideration that evil is a product of the ability to make free virtuous choices.
