Episode notes

The speakers delve into the philosophical views of the Stoics and the Epicureans regarding the nature of God and the problem of evil, and how Paul addressed these in Acts 17. They emphasize God's sovereignty and transcendence, and discuss the importance of relying on God's solution to evil rather than providing philosophical explanations.

When tragedy strikes us, what do we do? Do we want to immediately blame God? Do we try to rationalize it in some way? Or do we just lose hope? When trials feel like a main player in our lives, it can be overwhelming. We might feel entitled to the answers for our questions. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland take on the challenge of addressing God’s part in our tragedies and consider how to find our way when we feel lost.
