John Hick agreed with Irenaeus’ theory (called the Irenaean Theodicy) believing humans = created with room for spiritual growth
Argued soul-making is a response to evil. If evils didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to develop and perfect ourselves spiritually
Some suffering we can never understand or rationalise, meaning we can't ever truly understand God’s reasoning or plan.
Believes humans are born with an immense distance between them and God (epistemic distance).
Good as God isn't close enough to restrict free-will.
Bad as we're born not knowing of God’s existence and can't easily gain said knowledge.
Process of soul-making involves struggle to find religious faith.
