RELIGIOUS 142bk - The Problem of Evil:African-American Engagements with Western Thought

Institution:

Claremont McKenna College

Subject:

Description:

D. Smith Thematically explores the many ways African-Americans have encountered and responded to evils (pain, wickedness, and undeserved suffering) both as a part of and apart from the broader Western tradition. We will examine how such encounters trouble the distinction made between natural and moral evil, and how they highlight the tensions between theodicy and ethical concerns. Offered every year.
