The Problem of Evil: Religion's Greatest Challenge




The Problem of Evil: Religion's Greatest Challenge

We will study the problem of evil in the eyes of Western theistic religions, particularly Judaism.  If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, how could God allow a world filled with suffering.  We will seek answers both in Jewish tradition and more generally, in Western tradition.  After looking a the book of Job, we will explore rabbinic approaches to the problem of evil.  Finally in a series of lectures, we will explore whether God is truly all-powerful, whether God is truly all good, why human evil, and why natural evil.

How could a good God allow human suffering?
