Abstract

The “ Process theology” considers the merely encouraging power of God as a barrier to getting caught in the trap of the Problem of Evil, and thereby, proclaims its ontological superiority over the theology of open God. But the Open theism knows the process God responsible for the evil of the world equally, and even offers solutions to the Problem of Evil by resorting to God's algebraic power. In this article, while explaining the power of the process God, we come to the conflict of two schools over the Problem of Evil. Then, by presenting an analysis of the positions of the two sides, we first address some of the shortcomings of the "Open theism" in criticizing the "theology of process" and answering the question of "evil". Secondly, we show that the Theology of Process can provide a sufficient answer to this problem that avoids the ambiguities and deficiencies embodied in the concept of the power of the process God. Although the Theology of Process offers a more appropriate answer to the problem of "evil", it has some ambiguities about the power of the process God that greatly undermine the value of this answer.
