The problem of evil perennially vexes theology, but many
theologians have abandoned the project of theodicy, or the
theological explanation of evil, as either fruitless or hopeless.
Academic studies on theodicy, moreover, typically succumb to
theological deficiency and abstraction, often devoid of any
concrete connection to Christian life and practice. In Pathways in
Theodicy, designed for students and scholars alike, Mark S. M.
Scott reinvigorates stalled debates in philosophy and theology
through a detailed reassessment of the problem of evil and the task
of theodicy and through a careful analysis of the major models and
motifs in theodicy. Scott explores the strengths and weaknesses of
classic and contemporary perspectives on the problem of evil and
invites readers to assess the cogency and relevance of each on
their own. Rather than promoting a single perspective, Pathways in
Theodicy explores the plurality of options available to treat the
problem of evil and the provisional and tentative nature of
theodicy, which searches not for final, definitive solutions but
for viable ways to move the conversation forward.
