If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, then why are there seemingly pointless evils in the world? Why do fawns die painfully in forest fires? How can God allow children to get beaten to a pulp by insidious aggressors? Joshua Brown joins us to discuss what's come to be known as the Evidential Argument from Evil (EAE). His unique approach has close ties to the God of Classical Theism. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
