Ep 84: The Problem of Evil- Greg Boyd & Thomas Jay Oord Conversation. Open Theism Vs. Essential Kenosis/God Can't
In part 17 of The Problem of Evil series, I talk with theologians Greg Boyd and Thomas Jay Oord about their unique responses to the problems of evil and suffering. Why did each of them find traditional responses to the problem of evil in various forms of classical theism unsatisfying? What is similar and different about their respective positions?
Does either Boyd's Open Theism or Oord's Essential Kenosis/God Can't theodicy provide more satisfying answers than what people like Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Leibniz, Barth provided in the past?
How do they both respond to some of the more challenging theological or philosophical critiques aimed at their ideas?
Dr. Gregory A. Boyd is theologian with advanced degrees from Yale and Princeton, senior pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is author of numerous books. Some of the more relevant books to today's conversation are:
God of the Possible: A Biblical Introduction to the Open View of God
God at War: The Bible and Spiritual Conflict
Satan & the Problem of Evil: Constructing a Trinitarian Warfare Theodicy
The Crucifixion of the Warrior God: Volumes 1 & 2
Dr. Thomas Jay Oord is a theologian and philosopher with advanced degrees from Nazarene Theological Seminary and Claremont Graduate University. He directs the doctoral program at Northwind Theological Seminary and the Center for Open and Relational Theology. He's also authored numerous books and articles including:
God Can't: How to Believe in God and Love After Tragedy, Abuse, and Other Evils
The Uncontrolling Love of God: An Open and Relational Account of Providence
Defining Love: A Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement
