Marks of evil: Scarred Slave.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Evil is a complicated topic<\/strong>. There is much disagreement on the details of it.<\/p>\n

I will be attempting<\/em> to open the topic up to reflection and discussion on April 30th. (Bethesda EC Church, Reedsville, 9:30am)<\/p>\n

To learn more or prep yourself for the class, you can read a few posts I’ve already done on the topic, here<\/a>, or this one on hell here<\/a>. You can read the information wikipedia has offered, and click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend N T Wright’s work on the topic. “Evil and the Justice of God”<\/a>.<\/strong> Really clever stuff!<\/p>\n

Here’s a 2:47 minute video promo on the book:

Even more interesting (and NOT a promo piece for the book) is Wright’s response on Hell. About 3:16 minutes.<\/p>\n

On April 30th, we’ll encounter “Theodicy”, also known as the topic of why a good God allows evil, and these such questions:<\/p>\n

\u2022 What or who is evil?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 What is the point<\/em> of evil?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Why does God let evil happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 What should we do about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, I’m putting those tough questions out to you<\/span>. Maybe you’ll help me prepare for the class a bit better. What is a “must” to include in my lesson? What bit about “understanding” evil has been most helpful to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for your help.
