First sentence: The End of Evil by Marjorie Suchocki is an imaginative reconstruction of the metaphysical scheme of Alfred North Whitehead with particular attention to the problem of evil: why it arises within the cosmic process and how it can be overcome both within time and in the ongoing divine life.
Description: "Marjorie Suchocki's work The End of Evil provides the backdrop for this high-powered discussion of the usefulness of process thought for understanding Christian eschatology in light of postmodernism and contemporary natural science." "Taking as their starting point the metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead as well as Suchocki's creative adaptation of his thought, nine distinguished philosophers and theologians look hard at the theoretical assumptions of Christian eschatology and ask if process thought provides a more suitable language for restating these classic teachings today."--Jacket.
