Why Me? Why, God?

Understanding the Deeper Meaning & Life-changing Catholic Teaching on Redemptive Suffering

The instructor for this course is Dr. Troy Hinkel from Holy Family School of Faith. You can listen to an audio recording of his teaching each week with the exception of week three. Past participants have found that listening to the audio recording with headphones work well but they are not necessary. There are PowerPoint slides to go along with the teaching each week. I have also included a transcript of each week’s lesson.

The Problem of Evil

We see evil everywhere in our world; there’s no denying it. Now, does God cause evil? After all, He’s the first cause of everything that exists… and evil exists… so does He make evil? But God is totally good, so how could he cause evil?
