This is the third lesson in our series addressing the topic of Christian Evidences - Defending Your Faith. This powerpoint accompanies our lesson on evil, pain, and suffering.
Dr. John Oakes is taught a class on Answering the Hard Questions at the 2015 International Christan Evidence Conference at York College in York, Nebraska, June 19-21. He gave a brief overview of the Christian world view before launching into the Christian answer to the questions both believers and non-believers often struggle with, such as the Trinity, the problem of evil, the problem of suffering, the problem of violence in the Old Testament and the problem of Hell. Notes and power point are here:
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Theodicy – from (theos = God) and
(dike = righteous)
A justification of the righteousness of God, which
attempts to solve the theological problem of the
existence of evil.
Augustine’s theodicy is a collection of his beliefs
about good and evil.
3. God:
God the creator, is
omnipotent and all good.
Harmonious creation:
Creation is good and in the
beginning was harmonious.
Hierarchy of beings:
God, realm of Angels,
human world, natural
world.
Privation:
Evil is a privation or lack
of goodness in
something.
The fall:
Angels and
humans beings
fall through their
own free
choices and
giving in to
temptation. Sin
enters the world
through Adam
and Eve.
Natural evil:
Disharmony in the world
follows the fall of Angels
leading to natural evil.
Free will:
Free will is
valuable so God
sustains a world
within which
moral and
natural evil
occurs.
Aesthetic value:
The existence of evil highlights the goodness of creation
because of the contrast between good and evil.
4. Augustine had a traditional view of God.
God’s attributes are omnipotent, omnibenevolent and
omniscient. Because God is all good and perfect, his
creation is all good and perfect, therefore harmonious as
presented in Genesis 3.
If God is good and he is omnipotent, and he created the
world, why is evil in it?
If God created the universe and continues to sustain it in
existence for every moment of every day, it means that is
people commit acts of evil, God is sustaining and keeping
alive those very people while they do those acts.
5. Privation of good is an absence or lack of good, therefore
evil is a privation.
e.g. Blindness – you are unable to see therefore you
are lacking in ‘sight’.
Evil came about as a result of the misuse of free will.
Moral evil and natural evil comes from moral choice –
people choose what they do (free will). People’s response
to evil decides their destiny (soul-deciding).
Evil was brought into the world by fallen Angels and then
Adam and Eve, tempted by the snake, disobeyed God.
6. The fall of Adam and Eve is when they choose to eat the
fruit of the tree of knowledge. They used their free will to
choose to do something they were told not to do.
This is the first sin (original sin) so the rest of the sins in
the world, enter through Adam and Eve (as written in
Roman 5:12-20). God planned the fall (planned
redemption) so that he could be present on Earth as an
incarnation of Jesus Christ to free people and guide them
on the right path.
At the end of time, there will be judgement so the good will
be rewarded and be sent to heaven, the bad will be
punished and sent to hell.
7. Because evil exists, it highlights the goodness of
creation because of the contrast between good
and evil.
It makes it easier to see what is regarded as a
good action and what is an evil action. The
difference between the two allows them to be
easily distinguished from each other.
8. 1. God – at the top of the hierarchy because God created
everything. Because God is perfect, it means he cannot
be lacking anything and can be no different or better.
2. The realm of Angels – fallen Angels who chose to
turn away from God, brought this evil into the human
world.
3. The human world – God created a perfect world but
due to original sin, the human world has been punished
with natural disasters and suffering.
4. The natural world – God created this world to also be
perfect but as a punishment, natural disasters and
other consequences are a result of evil.
