Book Description
Two characters mill about a park bench midday on the Sausalito pier. Riff-raff? Most likely, yet they seem to have some kind of marginal employment. One is hawking bread and books of poetry. A baker perhaps. The other has discount coupons for kayak rentals stuffed into his pockets and shirt. What are they up to? Waiting for the ferry from San Francisco to arrive seems like an answer for the local gendarmes. The baker refers to his companion as a sage. While the 'sage' or kayak master, refers to him as "Respected friend." They are preoccupied by Death who drives a black continental and the shade of Max von Sydow, who continues to meet up with Death to play chess. The Sufferer and Sage are the two characters who inhabit the world of the Babylonian Theodicy. Here they are recast as a baker and kayak master with the same concerns- at that intersection of religion and popular culture, here called pop religion. The themes within an ancient theodicy and the format are the same. Each time and place recreates this dialogue and herein we have the stuff that dreams are made of, or at least a ten minute play that plays on our fears of God and existence.

The Evils of Theodicy
Author: Terrence W. Tilley
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1579104304
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
The thesis of this book is straightforward: Tilley argues that theodicy as a discourse practice creates evils while theodicists ignore or distort classic texts in the Christian tradition, unwittingly efface genuine evils in their attempts to justify God, and silence the voice of the suffering and the oppressed by writing them out of the theological picture. The result is often a theological legitimation of intolerable social evils.

Theodicy Beyond the Death of 'God'
Author: Andrew Shanks
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351607200
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
True theodicy is partly a theoretical corrective to evangelistic impatience: discounting the distortions arising from over-eager salesmanship. And partly it is a work of poetic intensification, dedicated to faith’s necessary struggle against resentment. This book contains a systematic survey of the classic theoretical-corrective theodicy tradition initiated, in the early Seventeenth Century, by Jakob Böhme. Two centuries later, Böhme’s lyrical thought is translated into rigorous philosophical terms by Schelling; and is, then, further, set in context by Hegel’s doctrine of providence at work in world history. The old ‘God’ of mere evangelistic impatience is, as Hegel sees things, ‘dead’. And so theodicy is liberated, to play its proper role: illustrated here with particular reference to the book of Job, the post-Holocaust poetry of Nelly Sachs, and the thought of Simone Weil. A boldly polemical study, this book is a bid to re-ignite debate on the whole topic of theodicy. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars in religious studies, theology and philosophy.

God and Evil
Author: David Birnbaum
Publisher: KTAV Publishing House, Inc.
ISBN: 9780881253078
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
V. 1. David Birnbaum's God and Evil is a major theological study which systematically confronts the philosophical problem of evil, and the Holocaust in particular. It presents an extensively researched and comprehensive review of the subject. In a clearly presented and readable exposition, Birnbaum then proposes a refreshing and powerful formulation. Combining modern and classic, rationalist and mystic themes, Birnbaum's proposed solution to the ancient problem of evil is perhaps the most elegant to appear in modern times. Though proceeding from a Jewish context, Birnbaum's compelling presentation and original synthesis will be of considerable value to adherents of all Western religions. God and Evil has been acclaimed by philosophers and theologians of all faiths. V. 2. This is a highly intuitive work attempting to advance our speculative conjecture about the cosmos but fully comporting to our knowledge of the spectrum of various realities, across the sciences, both physical and social. The work is written within a Jewish context, but its motifs are universal. If the construct proposed herein proves to stand the test of time, mainstream Jewish philosophy and theology will comport to its contours and other belief systems will find ways to accommodate its assertions. -- Amazon.com.

God, Power, and Evil
Author: David Ray Griffin
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 9780664229061
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The baffling age-old question, if there is a good God, why is there evil in the world? has troubled ordinary people and great thinkers for centuries. God, Power, and Evil illuminates the issues by providing both a critical historical survey of theodicy as presented in the works of major Western philosophers and theologians--Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas, Spinoza, Luther, Calvin, Leibniz, Barth, John Hick, James Ross, Fackenheim, Brunner, Berkeley, Albert Knudson, E. S. Brighton, and others--and a brilliant constructive statement of an understanding of theodicy written from the perspective of the process philosophical and theological thought inspired primarily by Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne.
