en-wikipedia-org-7501		Irenaean theodicy - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	4700	641	70	Second-century philosopher and theologian Irenaeus, after whom the theodicy is named, proposed a two-stage creation process in which humans require free will and the experience of evil to develop. Another early Christian theologian, Origen, presented a response to the problem of evil which cast the world as a schoolroom or hospital for the soul; theologian Mark Scott has argued that Origen, rather than Irenaeus, ought to be considered the father of this kind of theodicy. John Hick published Evil and the God of Love in 1966, in which he developed a theodicy based on the work of Irenaeus.
