  • REL 343 - JYS: The Problem of Evil

    This Junior Year Seminar course is an exploration of the theological problem of evil and the Christian response in justice. Grounded in classical definitions of theodicy, focus will be given to contemporary experiences of evil - particularly genocide and systemic racism - and theological reflection in light of these experiences. Students are invited to reflect on the experiences of evil and justice in contemporary media and to develop their own approach to finding meaning and justice in the face of evil.
