Theology is the study of the nature of God and religious beliefs, while theodicy specifically deals with the problem of evil and how it can coexist with a benevolent and all-powerful deity. Theology is a broader field that includes various aspects of religion, whereas theodicy focuses on grappling with the philosophical question of why a loving God would allow suffering.
