Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adams suggests that traditional theodicies, which attempt to justify God's allowance of evil by pointing to greater goods or necessary conditions for such goods, do not adequately address the emotional and existential impact of evil on individuals who suffer. Instead, she argues for a "horrendous evils" theodicy that focuses on the question of how God can be good to individuals who experience such evils, emphasizing God's solidarity and sharing in suffering.
