C. Stephen Evans is University Professor of
Philosophy and Humanities at Baylor University.
...gratitude is certainly due to Evans for providing an
unquestionably erudite, substantial, and provocative contribution
to an important discussion that bears deep implications for both
metaethics and theodicy. * William M. Diem, American Catholic
Philosophical Quarterly *
Evans is to be commended for having produced a valuable
introduction to the topic of DCTs that also makes a significant
contribution to the ongoing debate. ... The book will thus have
strong appeal for students, and for many thoughtful people who are
not professional philosophers as well as for those who are. * Mikel
Burley, The Philosophical Quarterly *
God and Moral Obligation is a success in a number of respects.
Evans writes clearly, even brightly, avoiding technical
philosophical jargon whenever possible. He is admirably capacious
in his readiness to bring together positions often deemed at odds
with one another at the same time as he offers a vigorous defense
of divine command theory against its challengers. * William
Werpehowski, First Things *
Stephen Evans's superbly lucid book God and Moral Obligation
provides one of the best overviews of the current debate on this
matter that one could hope for. * John Cottingham, The TLS *
Evans has written a highly lucid and readable book * Terence Cuneo,
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
This book is a painstaking analysis of the moral and philosophical
arguments and counterarguments respecting the place of God in moral
theory ... Recommended. * S.E. Forschler, CHOICE *
