God & Evil Short Course

How can a loving God permit the evil, suffering, and injustice we see around us? Where does evil come from? Will things always be this way? In this short course for Duke undergraduates, grapple with one of the most profound challenges to religious faith. Reading and discussing selections from Christian classics, including works by Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Dostoyevsky, C. S. Lewis, and N. T. Wright. Study how Christians have understood evil in the light of God’s good creation and Jesus’s victory over sin and death. Discussions will be held over dinner in a warm, convivial setting. Taught by Kathryn Wagner, CCS Director of Academic Programming.
