although some might take advantage of such a privilege to commit wrongdoings‚ subsequently inflicting harm on others. Such instances of harm are instances of moral evil since they are caused by human beings; therefore‚ it can be said that the Free Will Theodicy has successfully explained the consistency of the existence of an all-powerful‚ all-knowing‚ and all-good God and the existence of moral evil. However‚ while instances of moral evil are the products of human free will‚ instances of natural evil‚

Theodicy A theodicy is simply a justification of God’s ways. Theists are generally compelled to express a theodicy in response to the unfortunate‚ painful‚ evil events and circumstances found in our world. A theodicy is necessary only if we believe in a God who is inherently good‚ thus requiring an explanation of the apparent discontinuity between a good God and evil in the world. In order to express my own theodicy‚ I will discuss the forms of evil in the world and their various manifestations

500 word summary of Hicks theodicy John Hick is a modern theologian who developed his theodicy based on an argument originally put forward by St Irenaeus. Hick’s theodicy is a form of the free will defense with a few particular developments such as his concept of soul making‚ mans epistemic distance from God and the concept of universal salvation. Irenaeus’ original theory is based on his interpretation of Genesis 1:26 ‘Let us make man in our image‚ after our likeness’. From this Irenaeus concluded

The Irenaean theodicy argues that part of human growth is suffering and an evil nature‚ which guides us to God. However‚ the Death of God model argues the exact opposite. The Death of God model argues that evil cannot be an instrument of God and therefore‚ God has to be dead. Strengths of the Death of God model include the view that evil is not an instrument of God and the rejection of the traditional God that intervenes on Earth. The view that evil is not an instrument of God allows people to

such question asks‚ “If God is omnipotent (all powerful)‚ why is there suffering and evil in the world?” It is also known as the Theodicy question. This a question that many Christians struggle with. However the Bible does provide some answers as to why God allows evil to exist. Christian Theologians throughout the ages have also provided some insight into the theodicy.

Wright and the Problem of Evil theodicy is somewhere in between the scale of extremes. N.T. Wright takes studies from the Bible to answer questions of Gods involvement of evil and gives Christians a way for them to be active as well. When N.T. Wright was forming his theodicy it is obvious he spent a lot of his time in the scriptures for answers. Wright would

To western religions‚ Augustine’s theodicy serves to highlight God as both loving and fair or just. God does not intervene to prevent evil‚ but rather through the death of Jesus‚ eternal life is available to those who accept him. However‚ was the world really made perfect? Augustine’s views by western standards are at odds with natural science. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution proves that nature is anything but perfectly designed‚ rather humans have risen away from their primal instinct and developed
