"For Greenway, the reality of evil poses not a logical problem to be resolved but instead a spiritual challenge to be engaged: Can we honestly and reasonably say a resounding 'yes' to life, to the existence of others and of ourselves, with eyes wide open to the enormity and scope of the evils that surround us and are at work within us, without resorting to strategies of denial or the blunting of our moral sensibilities? Greenway's affirmative response to this question draws especially on the writings of the Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas and the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky. The Challenge of Evil is both a daring and provocative 'philosophical spirituality' combating the hopelessness and nihilism that are strong temptations in a postmodern world coping with the overwhelming reality of evil in its countless forms." --Daniel Migliore, Charles Hodge Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary.
