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. 517 3 $aThe Goodness of God and the Problem of Evil 606 $aJewish religious literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMiddle Eastern literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheodicy$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aJewish religious literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheodicy$xHistory of doctrines. 676 $a291.2/118 702 $aLaato$b Antii 702 $aMoor$b Johannes C. de$g(Johannes Cornelis),$f1935-2023, 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780595303321 996 $aTheodicy in the world of the bible$93750324 997 $aUNINA
