Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

If God is omni-everything — and especially omni-good — then how can we explain the existence of evil and suffering in the world? In the philosophy of religion, this is not a new question. It is commonly known as The Problem of Evil. It assumes that the God in question is in fact a benevolent God. But what if God were a malevolent God? Would we then have to explain The Problem of Good? This is the question asked by Sebastian Dick, the author of our second listener essay contribution. In this episode, Seb reads his essay and is joined by Glenn Ostlund and special guest panelist Brother Jake to discuss.
