Description
Summary:The problem of evil is one of the most serious concerns of theologians and philosophers of religion. Process theologians like whitehead, hartshorn and Griffin adopt a new approach to this problem. Traditional theologians and philosophers, in most cases, by accepting the attributes of God (omniscience, omnipotence and omnibenevolence) were trying to justify evils in the world, but process theologians deal with this problem by denying the divine omniscience and omnipotence. They regard the knowledge of God temporal, and attribute a creative power to the beings, and regard the power of God restricted, and it is in this way that they can resolve the problem of evil. In the present paper, alongside a presentation of their views, we will criticize them.
