THE GOODNESS OF GOD & THE PROBLEM OF EVIL: Christian & Muslim Perspectives on Theodicy
The Muslim Students' Association and the University of St. Michael's College Campus Ministry will host a symposium on the topic of theodicy, a branch of theology that defends the goodness and justice of God despite the existence of suffering and evil. How can a benevolent and all-powerful God allow suffering to exist? Two established scholars, Professors Michael Vertin and Yahya Michot, will come together to discuss the goodness of God and the problem of evil as understood by the world's two largest religions in what should prove to be an enriching and edifying experience.
Date & Time: Friday January 30th, 2009, 6pm to 9pm
Location: The Leslie Dan Pharmacy Building (B150 Auditorium), University of Toronto, 144 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 3M2
$10 admission fee
$5 for UofT students/faculty members

This dunya is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has no choice but to follow you.
