#167 Philip Tallon: How do hell, the Fall and beauty fit into Lewis' theodicy?
The C.S. Lewis podcast
Exploring Theodicy Contributions and Philosophical Perspectives
This chapter delves into various interpretations of the problem of evil, from Alvin Plantiga's emphasis on free will to John Hick's soul-making theodicy, Marilyn McCord Adams' concept of heaven, Jerry Walls' objections to hell, and the role of aesthetics and imagination in philosophical discussions. It also examines C.S. Lewis's unique approach of using analogies and metaphors, contrasting his dynamic metaphors with other theodists' static ones, and culminating in a depiction of heaven as a divine dance of self-giving and self-sacrifice.
