1 Bishop and Perszyk are here writing contra Marilyn McCord Adams’s theodicy, but their points apply more broadly to theodicies that attempt to defend the goodness of a God who is thought of in personal terms.

2 Bishop and Perszyk also have other misgivings about personal omniGod theism but due to limitations of space, I’ll leave these aside.
