"If God is good, where does evil come from? If there is no God, where does goodness come from?" These questions form the basis of this course, which examines how theologians have grappled with the tension between God's goodness and the presence of evil and suffering in the world. Students will scrutinize "classic" responses to the problem of evil from the viewpoint of their most serious contemporary challengers: feminist theologians from both developed and "Two-Thirds World" countries, and post-Holocaust Jewish theologians.
