Abstract

The article discusses the problem of evil in early modern England, particularly in the years 1620 to 1660, examining Protestant theodicy and the doctrine of providence. It comments on themes including the suffering of God's children, the work of the Devil, and the prosperity of wicked people. The author considers divine benevolence and the application of theodicy to reports of battles and tales of judgements. The views of several Protestant writers of the period are considered, including Edward Cradocke and George Hakewill.
