YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Why does a good God allow violence and suffering — even in the Bible?

In this episode of Premier Unbelievable?, Andy Kind hosts a thought-provoking debate between humanist philosopher Richard Norman and Christian thinker Sara Stevenson from OCCA, The Oxford Centre For Christian Apologetics.

Together, they explore whether divine violence in the Old Testament undermines the credibility of Christianity, and whether humanists can offer a satisfying response to the reality of suffering. Is suffering ultimately arbitrary in a godless universe? Or does the biblical story offer a deeper hope in the face of pain and injustice?

Join us for a challenging and honest conversation on faith, morality, meaning, and the problem of evil. And for more on God and divine violence check out top scholar Tom NT Wright's Ask NT Wright Anything podcast here
