How can we reconcile the beauty of existence with the reality of suffering?
In short: This lecture explores the profound contradiction between the wonders of the natural world and the presence of evil. Drawing on Christian insights, Lord Harries and Professor Alis examine how one might live with such a duality.
The discussion investigates the tension between glimpses of the divine found in beauty and the apparent contradiction of widespread suffering and evil. The session uses the framework of the Christian faith to navigate this fundamental human struggle.
