And the question of theodicy stands beside her in this moment. Why is [the wine running out at the Wedding at Cana] not a concern for Jesus? . . . We see a world in desperate need and we, too, turn to Jesus, as someone who could—and should—meet need. And the question of theodicy stands beside us today, as well."
