Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner

Ep 65: The Problem of Evil (Part 10)- Is This the Best Possible World? Leibniz's Theodicy


Listen Later

The Problem of Evil series returns with part 10! In this episode, we'll review some of the reasons why theology shifted towards natural theology and rationalism during the Enlightenment and we'll see how a Christian rationalist like Gottfried Leibniz (a man who invented calculus, mechanical calculators, and artificial intelligence over 300 years ago) attempted to solve the problem of evil with his "best of all possible worlds" theodicy.
