Abstract

This chapter is part of a project to collect David Lewis's correspondence explicitly on topics in the philosophy of religion and arrange major threads by topic, tying the correspondence to his published work. The chapter confines itself to only few letters on only a few topics. David's metaphysics sometimes takes the form of philosophical theology, especially in his correspondence about the free will theodicy. It presents selections of David's correspondence on topics in the philosophy of religion: a letter on evil, specifically on the possibility of divine evil, evil perpetrated by God a letter on evil. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the place which, according to the author, God must have in David's logical space and also of the success of the many‐worlds theodicy that David briefly discusses.
