For Adams, instead of searching for reasons why a good God might allow evil, philosophy should seek reasons to explain how God might counter evil. This can be achieved in two ways:

The first is to set a balance between suffering and good for a person, The second is to include the experience of evil into that person's relation to God in a sensible way.
