B.G. Prusak’s “An Analysis of Augustine’s Argument in Confessions That Evil Does Not Exist”: A Response

Abstract

In these comments on Bernard G. Prusak's analysis of Augustine's argument against the existence of evil, I attempt to show that neither Prusak’s analysis nor his conclusion is thorough enough to compel us to follow him in what I take to be his major assertion, viz. that Augustine’s conceptions regarding the nature of creation and the nature of evil are both something less than fully compelling.
