Annotation

Here Forbes presents a summary and interpretation of Grant’s views on four aspects of Weil’s thought: the perfection of God; the affliction of men; contradictions in relation to the ‘problem of evil’, love and necessity. Forbes notes that in making this presentation, he himself is interpreting Weil’s thought for others, something Grant himself was loath to do.
