Are skeptical theists really skeptics?

This journal article looks interesting: SpringerLink - International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, Online First™:
Skeptical theism is the view that God exists but, given our cognitive limitations, the fact that we cannot see a compensating good for some instance of evil is not a reason to think that there is no such good. Hence, we are not justified in concluding that any actual instance of evil is gratuitous, thus undercutting the evidential argument from evil for atheism.
