Key Points

Process theodicy redefines omnipotence, changing the context of divine power regarding evil.
It presents a view that genuine evil exists due to the world's metaphysical nature, differing from traditional beliefs.
Unlike traditional theists, process theists argue that not all evil ultimately leads to good.
This approach offers a constructive postmodern alternative to the problem of evil, impacting philosophical discussions.

Abstract

'Process Theodicy' provides us with a constructive postmodren alternative to the 'tradtional' theodicity ,by redefining the omnipotence of God(one of the elements of the incompatible triad) from a 'metaphysical' consideration of the nature of the world upon which the power is exerted.Unlike the traditional theists,who maintain that all apparent evil is really ,from the utimate perpective ,a means to good ,process theists hold the view that the possibility of genuine evil is rooted in the metaphysical characteristics of the world.
