Abstract: | It seems that animal pain is an obstacle to belief in a good God, though Christianity has not been much concerned with the
issue. A systemic approach to pain is not a complete answer, nor is there any merit in denying that God is subject to moral
appraisal. Marilyn McCord Adams recommends that such investigations be located in the specifics of a religious tradition.
Her advice eliminates a couple of radical solutions but there appear to be a number of ways in which progress might be made
without doing violence to the tradition that is in need of a theodicy. |
