The Quest for God (Good) Amidst Evil in the World Today

Rev. Fr. Dr. Okpe, Nicholas Ojoajogwu's book, titled, The Quest for God (Good) amidst Evil in the World Today: Revisiting St. Thomas Aquinas and other Religious Philosophers in the Search for God is quite imperative in its brave attempt at introducing students in institutions of higher learning to the onerous enterprise of Philosophy of Religion in Nigeria. Philosophy and Religion as academic disciplines in tertiary institutions are "twin-sisters".Though Philosophy of Religion is such a hard nut to crack, Rev. Fr. Dr. Okpe, Nicholas Ojoajogwu's book diligently probes into the very difficult terrain of marrying Philosophy with Religion. His intellectual efforts have translated into this well researched book which is certainly a good guide for undergraduates and postgraduate students of Nigerian Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Theological Colleges and Major Seminaries. ====:FELIX EHIMARE ENEGHO, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Church History and Mission Studies, Kogi State University, Anyigba, Nigeria and Associate Fellow, Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology, DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois, USA
