Description

If God exists, why is there so much pain and suffering, and why isn’t his existence more obvious?

In A Theodicy for a Suffering World with a Hidden God, Philip Pegan develops a theodicy in answer to these questions.

This theodicy is consistent with theological determinism—the belief that everything is determined by the will of God—and with the possibility that human beings are entirely physical in nature.

It affirms that all creatures capable of suffering will eventually enjoy a life of eternal happiness and shows that it is plausible that, if God allows suffering in such a creature, there is an outweighing good that he can bring about in the life of that creature.

Pegan’s theodicy is compatible with the claim that the world is unsurpassably good.

It assumes value realism but could be revised in a way that preserves its framework and main substance while assuming value antirealism.
