Abstract

What is the “Problem of Evil”?

As an Ethicist, Emily Townes discusses the existence of evil in the world and the challenge this presents to the existence of an all-good God. For Townes, God is not the creator of evil, but humans are. In the sight of evil we need not question the existence of God, but the actions of humans, and take responsibility for the free will God has given us.
