The De Malo represents some of Aquinas' most mature thinking on
goodness, badness, and human agency. In it he examines the full
range of questions associated with evil: its origin, its nature,
its relation to good, and its compatability with the existence of
an omnipotent, benevolent God. This edition offers Richard
Regan's new, clear readable English translation, based on the
Leonine Commission's authoritative edition of the Latin text.
Brian Davies has provided an extensive introduction and notes.

theology and ranks among his major writings. In it, Aquinas
examines the full range of questions associated with evil: its
origin, its nature, its variety, its relation to the good and its
compatibility with the existence of an omnipotent, benevolent God.
