On the Question at the End of Theodicy
Journal Title: Religions - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
This article argues that theodicy provides an insufficient response to suffering - one that often further victimizes those who suffering most. In it’s place, I argue for a moralist response based on Albert Camus and W. E. B. Du Bois.
