This study presents an eschatological theodicy, that is, the hopeful vision of God's eschatological future as the final response to the theodicy question. It pays attention to the eschatological act of the triune God revealed in and through the history of the world, and particularly in and through the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, rather than a logical resolution of the trilemma. In particular, in the face of the horrendous evil represented by Auschwitz and the serious challenge from today's natural science such as the evolutionary theory and the big bang cosmology, this dissertation attempts to secure the cogency of the Christian eschatology. After giving a brief and careful examination of traditional theodicy theories by categorizing them into one of four models: Augustinian, Soul-Making, Process and Practical theodicy, it delves into ideas of three influential scholars who have developed their theodicies from an eschatological perspective: Jürgen Moltmann, Wolfhart Pannenberg, and a hybrid physicist-theologian, Robert John Russell. Then, by complementing and developing further their arguments, it makes a constructive proposal of eschatological theodicy, following the order of the biblical narrative. Finally, five virtues for practice are followed as a corollary to the eschatology theodicy -- love, justice, resistance, forgiveness, and prayer. The eschatological vision of Christian faith provides those who ask the reason for hope in the face of evil and suffering with an audacious and persuasive answer even though it is still a provisional truth claim. The almighty power of God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead, and the untiring love of God who suffers together with creatures through the cross will ultimately fulfill God’s purpose of creation, that is, the accomplishment of God’s salvation, thereby overcoming all the power of evil and suffering. Thus, theodicy question can be adequately resolved only in light of eschatology: if there is no eschatology, there is no theodicy.

In Inscrutable Malice, Jonathan A. Cook expertly illuminates Melville's abiding preoccupation with the problem of evil and the dominant role of the Bible in shaping his best-known novel. Drawing on recent research in the fields of biblical studies, the history of religion, and comparative mythology, Cook provides a new interpretation of Moby-Dick that places Melville's creative adaptation of the Bible at the center of the work. Cook identifies two ongoing concerns in the narrative in relation to their key biblical sources: the attempt to reconcile the goodness of God with the existence of evil, as dramatized in the book of Job; and the discourse of the Christian end-times involving the final destruction of evil, as found in the apocalyptic books and eschatological passages of the Old and New Testaments. With his detailed reading of Moby-Dick in relation to its most important source text, Cook greatly expands the reader's understanding of the moral, religious, and mythical dimensions of the novel. Both accessible and erudite, Inscrutable Malice will appeal to scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Melville's classic whaling narrative.

Eschatology is the study of the last things: death, judgment, the afterlife, and the end of the world. Through centuries of Christian thoughtfrom the early Church fathers through the Middle Ages and the Reformationthese issues were of the utmost importance. In other religions, too, eschatological concerns were central. After the Enlightenment, though, many religious thinkers began to downplay the importance of eschatology which, in light of rationalism, came to be seen as something of an embarrassment. The twentieth century, however, saw the rise of phenomena that placed eschatology back at the forefront of religious thought. From the rapid expansion of fundamentalist forms of Christianity, with their focus on the end times; to the proliferation of apocalyptic new religious movements; to the recent (and very public) debates about suicide, martyrdom, and paradise in Islam, interest in eschatology is once again on the rise. In addition to its popular resurgence, in recent years some of the worlds most important theologians have returned eschatology to its former position of prominence. The Oxford Handbook of Eschatology will provide an important critical survey of this diverse body of thought and practice from a variety of perspectives: biblical, historical, theological, philosophical, and cultural. This volume will be the primary resource for students, scholars, and others interested in questions of our ultimate existence.

This thesis aims to show the appropriateness and the necessity of eschatology as a solution to the issue of theodicy by examining Hick's and Moltmann's eschatological aspects in their theodicies. At the same time, it discloses the fact that the foundation of eschatology is only the event of Jesus Christ as the event of the triune God by paying attention to the differences between Hick and Moltmann.

Is it justice when deities allow righteous human beings to suffer? This question has occupied the minds of theologians and philosophers for many centuries and is still hotly disputed. All kinds of argument have been developed to exonerate the 'good God' of any guilt in this respect. Since Leibniz it has become customary to describe such attempts as 'theodicy', the justification of God. In modern philosophical debate this use of 'theodicy' has been questioned. However, this volume shows that it is still a workable term for a concept that originated much earlier than is commonly realised. Experts from many disciplines follow the emergence of the theodicy problem from ancient Near Eastern texts of the second millennium BCE through biblical literature, from both Old and New Testament, intertestamental writings including Qumran, Philo Judaeus and rabbinic Judaism.
