500    "This volume is part of the project on The problem of evil
       in religious traditions: origins, forms and coping, 
       organized in cooperation with the Vrije Universiteit 
       Amsterdam and the Royal Tropical Institute at Amsterdam on
       the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Vrije 
       Universiteit and the exhibition "Religion & evil" in the 
       Tropenmuseum (Amsterdam Museum of Tropical Ethnology"--
       Title page verso. 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
520 8  The various Christian, Muslim, traditional (African), and 
       secular (Western) ways of imagining and coping with evil 
       collected in this volume have several things in common. 
       The most crucial perhaps and certainly the most striking 
       aspect is the problem of defining the nature or 
       characteristics of evil as such. Some argue that evil has 
       an essence that remains constant, whereas others say its 
       interpretation depends on time and place. However much 
       religious and secular interpretations of evil may have 
       changed, the human search for sense and meaning never 
       ends. Questions of whom to blame and whom to address?God, 
       the devil, fate, bad luck, or humans?remain at the center 
       of our explanations and our strategies to comprehend, 
       define, counter, or process the evil we do and the evil 
       done to us by people, God, nature, or accident. Using 
       approaches from cultural anthropology, religious studies, 
       theology, philosophy, psychology, and history, the 
       contributors to this volume analyze how several religious 
       and secular traditions imagine and cope with evil. Table
