Evil: Part 1


Listen Later

Welcome to a special bonus episode of the Theology Nerd Podcast with the Dr. Tripp Fuller. This is a shorter Q&A episode, where your friendly, local internet theologian answers questions submitted by you.

We got lot of questions about evil, suffering, and divine power. There is the classic philosophical question about evil, and then there is the theological question about evil. How do you even begin to answer these questions? do you deny the goodness of God? do you deny the reality of evil? or do we reject God's divine omnipotence?

But before he even gets to those questions, Tripp address the two trajectories in the questions asked:

  • What is scripture's actual answer to question of evil and suffering?
  • Does doing theodicy even make sense when you look at the history of slavery and racism in America?

Sometimes we answer theological questions in a way that abstracts our lived experience. So Tripp, in this Q&A, wants to affirm the experiences that generate these questions, while also trying to situate them in the broader context of the theological and philosophical questions about evil.
