Should we hope that God has a reason for allowing evil?

April 18, 2020 by Randal

Many people find the idea that God has a reason for allowing great evils to be implausible, even offensive. But does that make sense? Should we really prefer that evil occur for no reason at all? Or should we hope there is a reason, even if we can’t understand it? In this video, I take the latter position by way of a reflection on my father’s death.
