Ep 45: The Problem of Evil (Part 5)- Will Evil Ever End? Do We Get Sinful Souls from Sex? Do We Have Free Will? (Gregory of Nyssa & Augustine)
In part 5 of The Problem of Evil, we explore the theology of Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine in the 4th-5th Century. These two men would become pillars of the Christian traditions of the East and West. It's really important to have listened to Part 4 where we discussed Plotinus and Origen in order to make sense of the theology of both of these men.
We'll see in today's episode how Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine answered questions related to the problem of evil such as:
- How do we define "evil"?
-Will evil ever end? Will God save and restore all things eventually...even the most wicked people?
-Are we born into the world evil, good, or neutral?
-If we do have sinful souls, how did they get to be sinful?
-Are humans free to chose God and the True, the Good, and the Beautiful? Do we have free will at all?
It's hard to underestimate the importance of these men (especially Augustine) in how they influenced most Christians throughout the history that follows on how we think about God, evil, sin, salvation, and even sex.
