Black Theodicy | Why God, Why Slavery?

#blackhistorymonth #blacktheology #blacktheodicy

 

Welcome back to Advent Next a theological podcast curated for curious faith discussion. This week we are discussing Black Theodicy with Ingram London, a PhD student studying Black Theology, but more particularly Black theodicy, which answers the question of where is God in the midst of Black suffering? The question of theodicy tries to hold together three truths: God is omnipotent, evil exists in the world, and God is loving. How can God be both loving and all-powerful and yet allow horrendous evil to exist? While we by no means have an absolute answer to this question, Ingram will be sharing with us today, pieces of his study and how these three truths can be held together in tension. 

 

We want to thank the Adventist Learning Community for making this program possible. If you’re not already following us on Facebook, Instagram, or Youtube, be sure to find us at the handle @adventnext. You can follow me at @kendraarsenaux with an “x’. But right now this is Advent Next.
