John Hick's Version of Irenaeus' Theodicy
- suggested humans are created in the image of God but as
they are spiritually immature they need to grow into the
likeness of God, which then enables them to have a
relationship with God
- suggested that we were made at a
distance from God- a distance of
knowledge- an epistemic distance
- moral evil was the result of our having the freedom
to grow and develop into a child of God
- moral evil was the result of our having the freedom
to grow and develop into a child of God
- in the Irenaean theodicy people only become
made in the image of God after death, and so
Hick suggests that, at death, some of us will
proceed into heaven
- Hick's theodicy has an eschatological aspect; those who
have not completed their development will continue
their soul-making journey after death but may then
enter the kingdom of heaven
- then supports universal salvation- he doesn't believe in hell
- then supports universal salvation- he doesn't believe in hell

have not completed their development will continue
their soul-making journey after death but may then
enter the kingdom of heaven
