Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil at the Lumen Christi Institute 4-11-2012

A symposium on Brian Davies' book Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil, with responses from Michael Kremer (University of Chicago) and Denys Turner (Yale University).
Many people find that they cannot reconcile belief in the existence of God with the reality of evil; if an all powerful and perfectly good God exists, then why is there so much suffering and injustice? Brian Davies, O.P., in Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil, argues that Aquinas gives us the proper theoretical framework for dealing with these tensions. Denys Turner and Michael Kremer join Davies in a panel discussion of his book's major claims.
"Brian Davies offers a vigorous, even brilliant, accessible overview of Thomas Aquinas on God, good, and evil. A leading expert on Aquinas, Davies has produced a book that will engage scholars as well as students and educated readers. This is a bold contribution to the literature on the problem of evil, the philosophy of religion, and the history of ideas." - Charles Taliaferro, Professor of Philosophy, St. Olaf College
