oa Theodicee in de Nederlandse praktische theologie

The author gives an overview of a number of empirical-theological research projects with regard to religious models of reality referring to theodicy. The projects all are based on the pioneering work of the team around the Dutch scholars Vossen (Tilburg) and Van der Ven (Nijmegen). The essential point of the theodicy research projects was the question how adequate pastoral care can be provided in situations of suffering.
