Nonnotable book by a nonnotable "private scholar". [[WP:COI]] The page created by the book author. No independent evidence of notability. The two cited reviews are actualy the book foreword, and can hardly be treated as intependent. The page came to my attention when the author started his self-promotion in other wikipedia articles.

Completely non-notable book by non-notable self-promoting author. He has invested money in self publishing and sending almost everyone a copy. He may have gotten a friend to write a review but that does not make the book notable. We do not have an entry on every book that has ever been reviewed. --[[User:Jayrav|Jayrav]] ([[User talk:Jayrav|talk]]) 04:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC) |

Dear editors, I work for David Birnbaum, therefore you see the author's name. I thought it would be wise to leave the name open for reviewers. There is nothing to hide. I'm working on improving and changing the language of the article. I spoke with many professors who actually read God and Evil, most of them are from philosophy and theology departments. The book was published by KTAV publishing. Before the Internet, most reviewers (mostly professors) sent their reviews via hard copy. I compiled these documents (http://summametaphysica.com/reviews/). I also noticed that David Birnbaum's reference in theodicy and privation were removed. I didn’t create these articles. The reference in theodicy led me to believe that submitting God and Evil is worthwhile. You have to investigate who added the references before deleting from the two important articles. I changed small letter to caps for God and Evil book title, but did not create. Some of the claims made here were not true. I personally received (to my attention) reviews by professors from various schools regarding Birnbaum's books. We worked on the book event bringing in some scientists and religious academic scholars to have a discussion on metaphysics. I have met some of these professors in-person. While I agreed to re-work on the article, I disagreed on some of the issue raised regarding the author. Thank you for your time. -on behalf of [[User:DavidBirnbaum|DavidBirnbaum]] ([[User talk:DavidBirnbaum|talk]]) 17:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC) |

Dear editors, I work for David Birnbaum, therefore you see the author's name. I thought it would be wise to leave the name open for reviewers. There is nothing to hide. I'm working on improving and changing the language of the article. I spoke with many professors who actually read God and Evil, most of them are from philosophy and theology departments. The book was published by KTAV publishing. Before the Internet, most reviewers (mostly professors) sent their reviews via hard copy. I compiled these documents (http://summametaphysica.com/reviews/). I also noticed that David Birnbaum's reference in theodicy and privation were removed. I didn’t create these articles. The reference in theodicy led me to believe that submitting God and Evil is worthwhile. You have to investigate who added the references before deleting from the two important articles. I changed small letter to caps for God and Evil book title, but did not create. Some of the claims made here were not true.
