Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode of Beyond Simple Answers introduces five major theologies of evil, offering a thoughtful starting point for those rethinking faith in a complex world. When suffering, injustice, and doubt challenge easy explanations, theology provides deeper frameworks for understanding evil and God’s role in it. This video explores classical approaches like Augustinian theodicy, alongside perspectives such as process theology, open theology, and liberation theology. Each framework offers a distinct way of interpreting suffering, divine power, and hope. Designed as an accessible theology primer, this episode helps viewers move beyond simplistic answers toward a more honest and nuanced faith. Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or simply curious, this introduction equips you with the theological vocabulary needed to engage one of the most challenging questions in religion: why evil exists and how faith can respond meaningfully.
