摘要：
Theodicy has become problematic in light of scientific theories of evolution, and all theologies are doomed to failure unless and until they are "honest, and ever-vigilant against the temptation ... to excise from [nature]... violence and indifference to suffering'' simply because it does not suit our theological systems or political goals. 1 In this theological attempt to deal directly with the violence inherent in the evolutionary process, I suggest a cautious retrieval of Martin Luther's God Hidden/God Revealed in order to allow for a more honest appraisal of suffering in this evolutionary universe.
