| Summary: | This article responds to Mark Scott's Wrestling with Existence and Michael Stoeber's The Visual Art of Käthe Kollwitz as Practical Theodicy and Its Relevance to Hope in Theoretical Theodicy. The author critically engages these two works, drawing on an autoethnographic narrative, to argue that theodicy stacks the deck in God's favour from the outset, and that a faithful theology needs to leave room for God's failure, for the possibility that God cannot be defended. |
