Hello friends. Welcome back to another episode of theology in the rock

I got a couple events coming up that you might be interested in I'm going to be at

Austin Texas September 17th through 18th at Family Life Life Family Church.

I'm posting a two day conference on faith, sexuality, and

gender if you want to attend that conference either live or virtually all the

information that's Center for Faith.com and just go to events tab, look up all the information there.

We also have our two-day Ex-Alzan Babylon conference in Denver, Colorado, October 4th to 5th. Space is starting to fill up if you want to attend that

Excel's conference and I highly recommend that you do. It's all the

information is that theology in the Rodden. Okay my guest today is Dr. Chris Palmer. He is the

Dean of Ministry of Theology at southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. He

holds a PhD from Bangor University in Wales, and he is the author of eight books, and has spent a lot of his research

time on the problem of suffering in the Book of Revelation.

And so we widen our scope a little bit. We don't focus just in the Book of Revelation, but I did what Chris to come on the show to help walk us through the age old problem of evil.

If God is good, why does he allow bad things that happen?

God can stop it, chooses not to, we don't know why. And so Chris and I wrestle with

that really important question here on the show.

So please welcome to the show for the first time, the one-and-oldy, Dr. Chris

Palmer. Thanks for being a guest on the Oz and Iran.

It's so good to be impressed and a big fan of the show and as I was telling you earlier

so to be on for me is a special honor.

Well I'm honored to have you on it I mean except for that Tiger's hat you're

but I didn't let that one slide. I didn't do it maliciously but now that I have it on I have to represent them so I give us a bit of a background of who you are what got you into theology
