If an all-powerful, all-good God exists, why does He allow suffering? This age-old question, often known as “the problem of evil,” has been debated by scholars, skeptics, and believers alike. Today, we’re examining this question from a fresh perspective, challenging the assumptions embedded within traditional arguments against the existence of God due to the presence of evil.

We’ll break down the core assumptions about necessity, the nature of intrinsic value, and the flexibility within theistic frameworks to allow for instrumental and ultimately defeasible evils. By carefully dissecting these assumptions, I’ll show why the classical theistic view offers a robust and nuanced response to these objections, one that accounts for the possibility of growth, relational dynamics, and even an eschatological vision where all suffering is ultimately redeemed.

Join me as we uncover why the problem of evil, when examined closely, may not be as insurmountable as it seems.
