Abstract

In this essay, I argue that one version of the problem of theodicy, as it is particularly prominent within political theologies, can be phrased as the question: Where is God’s justice present here and now? A comparative look at Sharīʿah might find a careful answer to this question—and contribute to an appreciative Christian view of this central Islamic concept.
