About this title

Review:

Animal Suffering & the Problem of Evil really is a very clever work, cleverly structured and cleverly delivered. And so, this readers jolting first impression of the incredible impossibility of the task Hoggard Creegan had set for herself became tempered towards a realisation of the infinite possibility that she points to in her explorations of evolutionary history, the workings of God, and the shadows that are shot through, or borrowing from Hoggard Creegans quotation of Haught, his beautifully articulated phrasing, seeded deep in its fertile subsoil with limitless possibility (106). There is vital, new ground here. (Yael Klangwisan, Laidlaw College)

For such a heavy topic the book itself is remarkably concise and lucid. (Andrew Sheperd, Stimulus)

Recommended. (C.A. Barnsley, CHOICE)
