Religious Studies

Description:

A critical examination of and struggle with what may be the oldest and most intransigent theological problem, theodicy, the problem of evil in a world created by a good God. How is it possible that a good, all knowing, and all powerful God allows such suffering as disease, natural disasters, hatred, mass murder, and every form of wickedness imagined by human beings? Students will address this central question with such related questions as human free will, natural events, the existence of God, and if God exists, God's possible character.
