I've finished reading "Satan and the Problem of Evil" and have begun "God at War". (I know, wrong order)
I am enjoying these books and the theodicy they present. So far, nothing gives me too much touble, except perhaps completely abandoning the idea of meticulous divine control. I'm gradually accepting Dr. Boyd's presentation. However, being basically an uneducated boob, I don't really have anything to compare this theodicy with. The problem of evil was just something I thought (wrongly) that theologians had dealt with completely and I never really paid it it's due. I have a basic understanding of Augustine's concept of evil being Goodnessess absence, and I guess that's the view I adopted. Are there other attempts at this problem I should consider? Can anyone point me to other books on this subject they found helpful? Thanks in advance.
Rob
