True theodicy is partly a theoretical corrective to evangelistic
impatience: discounting the distortions arising from over-eager
salesmanship. And partly it is a work of poetic intensification,
dedicated to faith's necessary struggle against resentment. This
book contains a systematic survey of the classic
theoretical-corrective theodicy tradition initiated, in the early
Seventeenth Century, by Jakob Boehme. Two centuries later, Boehme's
lyrical thought is translated into rigorous philosophical terms by
Schelling; and is, then, further, set in context by Hegel's
doctrine of providence at work in world history. The old 'God' of
mere evangelistic impatience is, as Hegel sees things, 'dead'. And
so theodicy is liberated, to play its proper role: illustrated here
with particular reference to the book of Job, the post-Holocaust
poetry of Nelly Sachs, and the thought of Simone Weil. A boldly
polemical study, this book is a bid to re-ignite debate on the
whole topic of theodicy. As such, it will be of great interest to
scholars in religious studies, theology and philosophy.
