Abstract

In the spectrum of possible objections to theodicy, we distinguish two of them: doubts about the morality of a successful theodicy and argument of sceptical theism against the possibility of a successful theodicy (because our cognitive ability is limited, so it is doubtful our ability to understand what God wants to make good in the world and how the existing evil due to their offspring). Experience of undeserved suffering of Job, in conjunction with the answer Yahweh gives us the opportunity for a productive dialogue with the specified points of view. In the theodicy of the book of Job, a difference arises between the name of God and God The name of God indicates the essential definition of God. The result of theodicy is a more fundamental concept of God. We come to the other idea of God than the one which began theodicy.
