Dr. Judith Plaskow Engages with the Question: There is So Much Evil in the World, How Can a God Exist?

There is so much evil in the world, how can a God exist?

Dr. Judith Plaskow discusses the problem of evil as a starting point for the classical understanding of God as an all-good being. She continues on to discuss how the “problem of evil” is quite different depending on the tradition that defines it and she offers a critique from her own Jewish background. Dr. Plaskow then challenges the idea of evil as a “problem” especially if we view God as not all-good or omnipotent.
