| Resumo: | Theodicy is the attempt to justify God, his existence and his attributes (mainly his goodness and his omnipotence), in view of the existence of evil in the world. Gordon Clark (1902-1985) was a Christian theologian and philosopher who through his writings addressed the main issues and problems faced by philosophy and religion. Although a heritor from the Reformed tradition, his proposal diverges considerably from that presented by the famous philosopher of religion Alvin Plantinga. In this context, the present study aims to present the relevant role of Clark's response to the problem of evil. |
