Antitheists sometimes charge that revisionary theists can overcome the problem of evil only by revising the conventional understanding theism so drastically that the resulting position is no longer intelligibly called "theism," because the resulting referent of the word "God" has been redefined out of all recognition. That charge does indeed apply to many modern theologies. But, by showing that the deity of process theism embodies all the features of what can be called the "generic idea of God" in cultures primarily shaped by biblically-based religions (Evil Revisited, 10-12), I have shown that this charge does not apply to process theism.
