I really like this topic, and I think it deserves a quality article. The information in the article is good, but the main problem with it is that it is far too short. If you look at Featured Articles like Free will, Diocletianic Persecution, or Catholic doctrine regarding the Ten Commandments, you can really get a feel for what a fully fleshed-out article on a topic like this would look like. A glance through Google Books shows entire books written on the topic, as well as long chapters in more general reference books. Some of the unanswered questions in this article would be: What precursors (besides Irenaeuns) existed before Hick's interpretation that led to his understanding? What effects did Hick's idea have on Christianity or theology? What groups have spoken in favor of, or against, this theodicy? How does this relate to other major models (such as the Augustinian theodicy)? Did Hick write about this anywhere other than "Evil and the God of Love"? Etc.

I hope you continue to work on this article. You may want to submit it to Peer review to get more opinions on the sort of material that should be added. Once it's fleshed out, feel free to resubmit it for GA review. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 12:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
