Exploring Theodicy Contributions and Philosophical Perspectives
This chapter delves into various interpretations of the problem of evil, from Alvin Plantiga's emphasis on free will to John Hick's soul-making theodicy, Marilyn McCord Adams' concept of heaven, Jerry Walls' objections to hell, and the role of aesthetics and imagination in philosophical discussions.
