 The Irenaean theodicy is distinguished by its acceptance that God is responsible for evil, but that he is not at fault.The Irenaean theodicy is a response to the evidential problem of evil which raises the problem that, if an omnipotent and omnibenevolent (all-powerful and perfectly loving) God exists, there should be no evil in the world.Evidence of evil in the world would make the existence of God improbable.
