There are three main Christian responses to the problem of evil: the Augustinian response, the Irenaean response and the modern process theology.

The paper argues that the existence of severe natural and moral evil significantly shifts the epistemic burden, forcing critical re-evaluations of traditional divine attributes. The subject of the article is to find an answer to this moral dilemma in the perspective of Ramendra Sundar Trivedi.
