054 | God's Sovereignty Over Evil, plus some Implications & Objections (God's Sovereignty & Human Responsibility Series - Part 3)

THEOTIVITY | Theology, Creativity & Culture

One of the greatest challenges to God's total sovereignty over all things is the problem of evil. Is God sovereign over evil, and if so, doesn't that then make Him responsible for evil?

In this last episode of this series, we'll consider this conundrum through the lens of Scripture itself to see what God's Word has to say on the topic. We'll also consider some important implications of this doctrine, and answer a few objections which were raised. Lastly, we'll also give you some recommended resources for further study.
