On William Hasker’s Theodicy, the Doctrine of Continuous Creation and the Nature of Morality
On William Hasker’s Theodicy, the Doctrine of Continuous Creation and the Nature of Morality

Summary/Abstract: In the article, I present the main assumptions of the natural-order theodicy and the free-will theodicy defended by William Hasker. Next, I pose the question of whether Hasker’s theodicies are compatible with the Christian doctrine of continuous creation accepted by Hasker himself. I consider several different ways of how the doctrine of continuous creation can be understood and the difficulties associated with them. Finally, I propose a modified conception of continuous creation and I claim that it is consistent with the main assumptions of William Hasker’s theodicies.
