Where is God in the Genocide? [SSL 296]

The Doors to the Sea was written by David Bentley Hart after the horrific Indonesian tsunami in 2004. Today I’ll be interacting with a portion of it that explains ideas of Providence, Evil, and God’s will, better than anything I’ve come across.

Please, find the companion page (PART 2) for the article link, the book link, more on the author, and my personal reflections.
