Christianity and the Problem of Evil, Part 2
About this episode
The episode discusses the broader assumptions shaping modern debates about evil and God's existence, reflecting on Christian beliefs and their implications for understanding suffering.
In this second session, our discussion turns from individual philosophical arguments to the broader assumptions that shape modern debates about evil and God’s existence. Drawing on Scripture and the Christian tradition, we reflect on themes such as the Fall, original sin, eternal life, and the nature of human dependence upon God. Rather than attempting to explain away suffering, Dr. McDaniel encourages us to consider how Christian belief reframes the meaning and context of evil itself. We also explore why Christians need not surrender our own theological commitments when engaging with intellectual challenges raised from a perspective of secular modernity. Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to: Biblical teaching for both head and heart, Spiritual formation through liturgy and sacrament, and A shared life of prayer and discipleship for all ages Learn more: https://incarnationrichmond.org
