Temporal Wholes and the Problem of Evil
Religious Studies 29 (3):313 - 324 (1993)
| Abstract | I borrow an idea from the fiction of C. S. Lewis that future outcomes may affect the value of past events, defend this idea via the concept of a 'temporal whole' and show its promise as a partial theodicy and its resonance with Christian theism and a robust personalism. | |||||||||
