Audio post: Free will theodicy versus sovereignty theodicy praxis

Durham Cathedral, Durham, England

Summary:

I speculate that theological praxis of sovereignty theodicy is more certain and comforting than free will theodicy, as transworld depravity is overcome by taking the primary choice of human belief in God away from corrupted human beings and placing it in the hands of a sovereign God.

Praxis:

Simon Blackburn writes that the term praxis originated in the era of Aristotle and included the concept of goal-directed action, the action in itself being part of the end. Praxis is not concerned with merely applying theoretical knowledge but adding to knowledge in the process of practically applying theory.
