Theological Theodicy (Cascade Companions)

The question of Gods relationship to evil is a long-running one in the history of Christianity and the term often deployed for this task has been 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 distinctly all that follows in what has traditionally been considered a philosophical matter.--Publishers description cover p. 4.
