The Greater-Glory Theodicy
We've knocked down the standard explanations. We've established who God is and what He desires. We've told His story in history from a story tale. Now, we get to tackle what Scott Christensen believes is the best explanation for evil with all those elements put together - The Greater-Glory Theodicy.
In this episode, we break down the three premises and conclusion of the Greater-Glory Theodicy and see that the conclusion is supported by them. From there we begin to cover some of the details embedded in the argument. One of them being is to figure out whether or not God is required to save anyone by giving His Grace to them.
Join us on our quest for a biblically-based theodicy.
