The Hebrew Bible—Wisdom and the Fear of God

Lecture no. 6 from the course: Why Evil Exists

Loading the player...

Taught by Professor Charles Mathewes | 33 min | Categories: Philosophy & Religion

The Hebrew Bible also offers a contrasting view of evil and suffering - as phenomena reflecting the mysterious will of God. Explore the implications of the covenant between God and Abraham, and Abraham's mandated sacrifice of Isaac. In the book of Job, see how Job's faith is established through determined acceptance of suffering.
