Augustine's theodicy.
The justification of God.
God's creation was faultless and perfect.
Evil came from within the world: Disobedience, disharmony morally and in nature, original sin.
God is justified in not intervening because the suffering is a consequence of human action-God is perfect and Evil is a privation.
All suffering is a human abuse of free will.
If God was simply just, everybody would be punished.
God's grace-Reconciliation through Jesus Christ.
'Soul-deciding' judgement
