In the second part, the author argues that on the basis of these criticisms, the project of theodicy should not be rejected. He argues, moreover, that the feminist proposal of conceptualizing evil in ‘tragic’ terms might help theodicists to meet the criticisms brought up against the project of theodicy both by feminists and antitheodicists.", }
