Abstract:
Theodicy means justifying God in the face of evil; many Christian thinkers have rejected as impious any attempt to fathom God's purposes or to judge God's actions by human standards. John Hick was an influential philosopher of religion in the mid 20th century. Hick did groundbreaking works in religious epistemology, philosophical theology, and religious pluralism.1 Soul making theodicy is a work of Iraeneus, advanced by Hick. The existence of evil is lucid, not only in theory but in the practical. There are diverse occurrences of evil in the universe; John Hick presents his concept as that which reveals the usefulness of evil, meanwhile evil is not palatable; MFM members in Nigeria out rightly sees it something that is not in God's plan. This research explores John Hicks' Soul-Making Theodicy and Mountain of Fire and Miracle ministries prayer pattern.
