The Evils of Theodicy

More about the book

The book critiques the practice of theodicy, asserting that it not only distorts classic Christian texts but also overlooks genuine evils in the pursuit of justifying God. Tilley contends that this discourse silences the experiences of the suffering and oppressed, ultimately leading to a theological endorsement of significant social injustices. Through this analysis, the author highlights the dangers of failing to address real-world suffering within theological discussions.
