A Workman's Theodicy: Why Bad Things Happen

By Tom Harley

The theodicy that works advertised by a people who don't know the term? How can that be?

"Why does God permit human suffering?" the Bethel speaker begins. "Well, that's an easy one, isn't it? It is one of the first things we learned when we got the truth."

It is? Easy? Easy? It's only one of the hardest questions in theology The great thinkers in history have tied themselves in knots trying to account for it.

"The question of how God could allow evil is a staple in philosophy. In fact, it may even be older than the discipline itself." - Professor David Kyle Johnson

If there is a benevolent God, why would he coexist with evil?

"Do your utmost to present yourself approved to God, a workman with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright." - Paul

From Job to Kant, from the Holocaust to the Halls of academia, from the public squares to the quadrangles, with nods to a bevy of philosophers and theologians, see how and why the giants miss the theodicy of the workmen.
