Course Description

For many people throughout history the question of the existence of evil and the reality of human suffering pose serious objections to the existence to a God who is all loving and all powerful. This course will explore these objections to God's existence and seek some solutions through the thought of C.S. Lewis, Pope John Paul II, Karl Rahner S.J., Bruno Hidber CSsR., Walter Kasper, Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine.
