Abstract

Is it possible to believe in a good God in view of the existence of evil?

Dr. Margaret Farley discusses the problem of evil and the concept of a God who loves his creation. She believes that positing an all-good God is reasonable because God has created humans with free will, and has shown this love in salvation. Farley also explains her idea that there is no act completely joyous or sorrowful, because the two are constantly intertwined with one another.
