Grad Student Forum on Faith and Suffering
|
Theodicy is one of the historic questions of faith. What is the nature of God's existence and presence in a world filled with real evil and real suffering? Notable theologians and philosophers have wrestled with this question; yet it is a question that tugs at the heart of any Christian engaged in ministry.
In this week's forum, we will be in conversation with one another and hear from contemporary theologians about this important question of faith. Join the conversation this Tuesday at 8:15pm in the Wesley Foundation Theater (on the 2nd floor, above Etc. Coffeehouse). |
