[thee-awd’-ih-see]

(Greek theos, “god” + Greek dike, “justice” = “the justice of God“)

The branch of theology (and philosophy) which attempts to harmonize the reality of evil with an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God. More specifically, it endeavors to vindicate the divine attributes of God, particularly with respect to holiness and justice.

Read Damian Romano’s ongoing book review of William Hasker’s The Triumph of God over Evil (here) and (here).
