This book explores the theology of theodicy, addressing questions such as why an omnipotent and benevolent God allows evil, and whether humanity has the capacity to evaluate God's motives. It includes perspectives from biblical, historical, doctrinal, philosophical, and pastoral interreligious sources, aiming to bridge disciplinary boundaries and provide a comprehensive understanding of the concept of God, suffering, and evil.

This comprehensive work delves into the intricate realm of the theology of theodicy, raising profound questions such as: Should every instance of suffering be inherently perceived as evil? Why would an all-powerful and benevolent God permit or perpetrate evil? Is God incapable or unwilling to alleviate human and non-human suffering on Earth? Does humanity possess the ability to critically evaluate God's motives and intentions?
Conventional disciplinary boundaries have often segregated theological approaches to these questions from philosophical ones. This volume seeks to transcend these boundaries by incorporating biblical, historical, doctrinal, philosophical, and pastoral, interreligious perspectives, as well as alternative intersections (Part V) on theodicy. The authors, drawn from diverse analytic and continental traditions, multiple Christian denominations, and both established and emerging scholars, offer a rich tapestry of approaches. What unites the essays in this volume is a commitment to answering these questions from the perspective of biblical testimony, historical scholarship, contemporary theological and philosophical explorations of the concept of God, non-Christian religions, science, and the arts. The outcome is a harmonious blend of in-depth analysis and broad scope, establishing this work as a seminal resource for further studies in the theology of suffering and evil.
