The Nature of Evil

' Evil is a palpable destructive force in our lives. With precision and energy Daryl Koehn unpacks this phenomenon and offers us a shockingly straightforward thesis. Evil, all human suffering, is caused by our narcissistic preoccupation with self and our failure to understand who we are and what we want and need. Koehn claims that we are both the source and victim of our own suffering. This is a must read for every student of the human condition.

' Koehn' s discussion of literary paradigms is fresh, interesting and beautifully expressed, making one wish all literary criticism were as good as this. ' - A. L-S, The Heythrop Journal
