Kindling Faith: Spring Convocation 2024 with author NYT best selling author, Kate Bowler - Gettysburg

Apri 24, 2024 9AM - 4PM

Where is God in the Face of Evil?

“Theodicy” is a theological concept that attempts to justify God in the face of evil. It is also defined as the defense of God's goodness and omnipotence in the face of evil. This is all good in theory, but when people we love are suffering through no fault of their own, how do we reconcile this pain with the existence of a loving Creator? Join us for the conversation at the 2024 Spring Convocation.

Speakers

Natalia Marandiuc, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology; Director Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program, United Lutheran Seminary

Kate Bowler, Ph.D. is a three times New York Times bestselling author, award-winning podcast host, and professor at Duke University
