The question of God’s relationship with evil is a long-running one in the history of Christianity, and the term often used for this task is “theodicy.” The way theodicy has historically been pursued, however, has been problematic on a number of counts. Most significantly, these efforts have generally been insufficiently theological. This work hopes to subvert and reconfigure the theodical task in a way that can be accessible to nonspecialists. Overall, the book hopes to cast the “god” of theodicy as the triune God of Christian confession, a move that shapes and alters all that follows in what has traditionally been considered a philosophical matter.
In the Logos edition of Theological Theodicy, you get easy access to Scripture texts and to a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Hovering over Scripture references links you instantly to the verse you’re looking for, and with Passage Guides, Word Studies, and a wealth of other tools from Logos, you can delve into your study of God’s relationship with evil like never before!
