This question has occupied the minds of theologians and philosophers for many centuries and is still hotly disputed. All kinds of argument have been developed to exonerate the 'good God' of any guilt in this respect. Since Leibniz it has become customary to describe such attempts as 'theodicy', the justification of God. In modern philosophical debate this use of 'theodicy' has been questioned. However, this volume shows that it is still a workable term for a concept that originated much earlier than is commonly realised. Experts from many disciplines follow the emergence of the theodicy problem from ancient Near Eastern texts of the second millennium BCE through biblical literature, from both Old and New Testament, intertestamental writings including Qumran, Philo Judaeus and rabbinic Judaism.The Goodness of God and the Problem of EvilJewish religious literatureHistory and criticismMiddle Eastern literatureHistory and criticismRabbinical literatureHistory and criticismTheodicyHistory of doctrinesJewish religious literatureHistory and criticism.Middle Eastern literatureHistory and criticism.Rabbinical literatureHistory and criticism.TheodicyHistory of doctrines.291.2/118Laato AntiiMoor Johannes C. de(Johannes Cornelis),1935-2023,NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910780595303321Theodicy in the world of the bible3750324UNINA
