| Part 2, Knowing and Understanding God |
| To understand the Problem of Evil, one must first consider God’s overarching purpose in creating first angels and then men. Though this may seem like an impossible task, according to Scripture, God has revealed to us all that He has done and all that He will do. Most importantly, the Bible is the self-revelation of God Himself. From it we learn that God is a highly personal being with an identity and life all of His own. |
