• Lee Strobel: why does God allow tragedy and suffering?

  
  — Authority:
  I found MP3 audio, video and a full transcript of Lee Strobel’s sermon on suffering at Apologetics 315. Strobel has 5 points in his sermon: God is not the creator of evil and suffering. Though suffering isn’t good, God can use it to accomplish good. The day is coming when suffering will cease and God will ...

• Should the press blame Catholic teachers for its ignorance?

  
  — Authority:
  One common complaint we hear from readers is that reporters, when caught messing up some key point of Roman Catholic doctrine, will claim that they are right because they were “raised Catholic” or “went to Catholic school.” Frequently this response to messing up a story is made in private correspondence. But ...

And that is because the existence of God is compatible with the existence of even extremely bad gratuitous evil. I’ll try to show this with the modal argument from evil (what goes for the modal argument goes ...

• Hope for Decaying Bodies

  
  — Authority:
  If God is so loving and so powerful, why does he allow suffering? Its the oldest and biggest question in what is called the "philosophy of religion". Indeed, its such an obvious question that even my youngest students (12 year-olds) could always be trusted to think of it spontaneously when we start exploring lifes ...

• God and faith in Oklahoma tornado coverage

  
  — Authority:
  In my first-person account of the Moore, Okla., tornado last week, I predicted that the faith and resiliency of the state’s residents would be a major theme in media coverage. Sure enough, it has been. I saw the devastation for the first time Sunday when I made my way to that side of Oklahoma City to [...]

• Does the president, and the press, get theodicy?

  
  — Authority:
  There’s an old joke preachers tell about the man who was depressed and opened the Bible randomly to a page to see what God would say to him. He put his finger on a verse and read, “And Judas hung himself…” Horrified, he opened the Bible again at random and saw the phrase, “Go and [...]

  Holy Theodicy Versus the Inane Variety When successive earthquakes struck Canterbury, devastating parts of the City of Christchurch, some clerics hastened to assure us that it was not Gods doing.  Similar chatterers have been busy in the aftermath of the deadly Oklahoma tornado. Douglas Wilson takes them to ...

  In the wake of another tragic disaster, this time in Moore, Oklahoma, where a mega-tornado wiped out a swath of the state seventeen miles long and two miles wide, killing twenty-four people, including seven children-- once again the question has been raised by some as to whether or not this tragedy was Gods will and ...

• Tragedy...What The Church Must Communicate

  
  — Authority:
  Luke 18:6-8 ~  6- And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7- And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8- I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? ...

• 174–175: The Chaplains on . . . Suffering

  
  — Authority:
  When we meet someone who is suffering, whether physically or emotionally, we naturally want to be of service to them. Sometimes our fears overcome us, and we avoid opportunities we’re presented with to “bear one another’s burdens” or “mourn with those who mourn” (Mosiah 18:8–9). Other times we step in ...
