CORE1010 Lecture 6: Theology lecture 6
Document Summary
Recall: identify theological issues associated with the problem of evil and the experience of suffering. Interpretation: demonstrate familiarity with the problem of evil and the experience of suffering. Problem solving: discover how catholic theology deals with the problem of evil and the experience of suffering in relation to the human person. The problem of evil is an academic issue for philosophy and theology. Curriculum unit deals with philosophical aspects of the problem. So where do we move from here: both judaism and christianity emphasise that god is personal. This becomes the insight into approaching the problem of evil and the experience of suffering: we journey in faith to god who is personal. We need to pursue meaning in suffering: suffering becomes a way to respond to evil, the privation of goodness (st. thomas. Aquinas): we can speak of meaning as the search for truth.
