Summary
“How can one reconcile [the belief in a good God] with the appalling massacres and misfortunes which overwhelm humanity? What father would abandon his children to the horror of Auschwitz?”
French philosopher Luc Ferry poses this question to highlight the problem of evil, which he considers a compelling reason to reject belief in the Christian God. But the problem of evil is not merely an intellectual dilemma—it’s a deeply personal struggle, one that touches the heart as much as the mind.
The Bible doesn’t give us a tidy answer to the question of suffering but offers something deeper:
a person.
In this episode, Jonathan and Christa explore both the intellectual and emotional dimensions of the problem of evil. They explain that the Bible doesn’t give us a tidy answer to the question of suffering but offers something deeper: a person. Jesus Christ, who entered our world and suffered for our sin, provides not only an explanation but a hope that speaks to our pain.
