RELI 435 - Theodicy

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: CMIN 260 , PHIL 235 The problem of evil can be put rather succinctly: If the world was created by an all good, all powerful and all-knowing God, then why does evil exist? This course will examine attempted solutions to the problems of evil in the world. In doing so, we will discuss concepts such as the freedom of the will, the nature of justice, the nature of suffering, original sin, eternal damnation, pre-established harmony, and possible worlds.
