The problem of prematurely 'solving' the problem of evil
'Christian faith starts from the assumption that it is impossible to reconcile life and death without the future of God.'(full quote)
-Jürgen Moltmann, The Way of Jesus Christ, 264.
Does any theodicy that attempts to 'justify the ways of God to man' without recourse to the resurrection of the body involve a pact with death and a death-wish? Must we therefore repent of so called 'free-will' defenses that explain the presence of evil and death as a necessary consequence of something better (free choice)?

can I use a set square in my answer?
Hey, you have some interesting stuff here. Makes me feel I should read more Moltmann. Keep it up!
Michael: Heb 5.11.
Patrik: Welcome! Hope to see you again sometime (either here or over on your excellent blog)
