The British philosopher of religion, Stewart R Sutherland, has developed a provisional theoretical framework in response to the problem of evil. His approach is heavily influenced by the concept of "moral rebellion" as expressed by Feodor Dostoevsky and Albert Camus. Consequently, Sutherland lays great emphasis on the insoluble nature of the problem of evil, and the importance of giving priority to the voices of victims. These concerns are also two of the major themes in the work of Elie Wiesel. This similarity of ideas justifies the use of Sutherland's theoretical framework as a basis of a Christian response to the Holocaust.
