- This comprehensive episode delves into the complex concepts of evil, free will, and God's sovereign love through the lens of 'Theodicy of Love', featuring insights from Dr. John Peckham. It addresses how the necessity of libertarian free will for genuine love inevitably allows for the existence of evil, while emphasizing God’s dedication to work within human free will to achieve good. Further explored is the expectation that evil will never arise again in the afterlife, supported by biblical assurances of a future without pain or death, and the universe's inoculation against evil through the demonstration of its full consequences. Central to the discussion is the cosmic conflict between good and evil, positioning love as the supreme value that can resolve the problem of evil. This episode also previews Dr. Peckham's future endeavors, including an update on his book, Why We Pray and a theological conference.
