SUMMARY:Where is the Problem of Evil going in contemporary thought? - Rev'
 d Dr James Gardom\, Dean and Chaplain of Pembroke College

DESCRIPTION:The “Problem of Evil” is often treated by Anglo-American p
 hilosophers as a timeless propositional conundrum around the "Inconsistent
  Triad": God is omnipotent\, God is omniscient\, God is benevolent. In thi
 s talk I attempt to reconnect the Problem of Evil to its wider context in 
 contemporary thought (Max Weber)\, in contemporary philosophy (Susan Niema
 n)\,  in religion in general\, and in Christianity in particular. I argue 
 that the Inconsistent Triad is best understood as a failed Thought Experim
 ent\, and that God\, no less than the Devil\, is in the detail.
