Skeptical theism is incompatible with theodicy

Inductive arguments from evil claim that evil presents evidence against the existence of God. Skeptical theists hold that some such arguments from evil evince undue confidence in our familiarity with the sphere of possible goods and the entailments that obtain between that sphere and God's perm...

520 |a Inductive arguments from evil claim that evil presents evidence against the existence of God. Skeptical theists hold that some such arguments from evil evince undue confidence in our familiarity with the sphere of possible goods and the entailments that obtain between that sphere and God's permission of evil(s). I argue that the skeptical theist's skepticism on this point is inconsistent with affirming the truth of a given theodicy. Since the skeptical theist's skepticism is best understood dialogically, I'll begin by sketching the kind of argument against which the skeptical theist's skepticism is pitched. I will then define 'skeptical theistic skepticism', offer a precise definition of 'theodicy', and proceed with my argument.
