Exploring the Philosophical Debate on God, Evil, and Suffering
This chapter delves into the philosophical debate on the existence of God and evil, discussing the concepts of omniscience, omnibenevolence, and omnipotence. Various philosophers' perspectives on the existence of evil in a world with a supposedly all-powerful and benevolent God are presented, along with different approaches to understanding human suffering and its relation to the divine. The discussion also touches on the suffering of God the Son in the context of Christ's sacrifice and how acute suffering can either drive individuals apart or bring them closer together in self-sacrifice and love.
