This essay offers a brief history of process theology and a sense of its current concerns by discussing the varying responses to the problem of evil within that history. From within the wellspring of process theism, it is possible to argue cogently for both a God whose moral perfection is maintained and a God whose moral ambiguity is emphasized. It is possible as well to argue for both a God whose divine justice eventually transforms all evil and a God whose divine complexity maintains the messiness of the actual world
