If God is so good, why is his world so bad? If an all-good, all-wise, all-loving, all-just, and all-powerful God is running the world, why do bad things happen to good people?
In this virtual lecture, Dr. Kreeft will dive into the problem of evil in our world and how he believes it is the greatest issue facing us today.
