Summary:<p dir="ltr">In the realm of theological inquiry, few subjects have sparked as much con­templation, debate, and intellectual pursuit as the question of theodicy. As humanity grapples with the profound realities of suffering, evil, and the exis­tence of an omnipotent and benevolent deity, theodicy emerges as a vital arena where philosophy, theology, and ethics intersect. At the heart of this complex discourse lies a fundamental inquiry: how can a benevolent and all-powerful God coexist with the presence of suffering and malevolence in the world? It is within this intricate tapestry of paradoxes that the edited volume under review seeks to navigate, offering readers a compelling exploration of theo­dicy’s multifaceted dimensions with a particular focus on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Islamic Ethics<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1163/24685542-20240010" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1163/24685542-20240010</a></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Volume and issue information: Vol 8 No. 1-2 (2024): December 2024</p>
