Process Theodicy

Process Theodicy is an approach to understanding the problem of evil that comes from Process Theology. It suggests that God is not all-controlling but is instead evolving along with the universe and is affected by our choices. This means that while God desires good and works to influence events positively, God cannot unilaterally prevent all evil and suffering. Instead of being a distant, omnipotent figure, God is seen as a partner in the process of creation, who provides opportunities for growth and goodness amid the realities of a changing world filled with free agents.
