Where is God Amidst the Pain?
December 15, 2023 | Kahlil Walker ‘24
Nevertheless, there are goods in this world that only arise in the face of hardship and pain and they are evidently invaluable to us. Though I may not understand the absolute worth of these goods over others, I have hope that God’s purposes are sufficient. It is entirely reasonable for us not to fully understand the plans of a God who is substantially wiser than we are. This—that is, the wisdom of God—is a part of what Epicirius misses in his problem of evil.
