| Résumé: | Christopher Southgate's work raises questions about God, evolution, and suffering. In this article, I begin by contributing an alternative to Southgate's only way argument and by offering a third option in speculations about the nature of nonhuman animals in heaven. The second half of the article starts with Southgate's approach of evolutionary theodicy as an adventure in theology and proposes a new path branching off his work. Compassionate theodicy is a reworking of the method and audience of traditional theodicy in the hope that it might become something that could offer theological resources to those who suffer. |
