Summary
In this special episode, Dinesh examines a very old question that no one seems able to answer: Why would a good and benevolent God allow so much evil and suffering in the world? Dinesh argues that traditional answers, such as evil doesn't really exist, or God always brings good out of evil, don't really work. Drawing on one of his earlier books, Dinesh offers a comprehensive and daring answer, one that covers both natural evil--the evil effects of natural calamity and disease--and also moral evil, the evil done by humans. This is Christian apologetics in the characteristic Dinesh vein.
