The Problem of Evil: Ancient and Modern (Prof. Mark Edwards, University of Oxford)

Professor Edwards graduated from Corpus Christi College in 1984 with a BA in Literae Humaniores and in 1988 completed his doctorate entitled ‘Plotinus and the Gnostics’. He then went on to complete a BA in Theology in 1990 whilst holding the Esmee Fairbairn Junior Research Fellowship at New College from 1899-1992 where he remained between 1992 and 1993 as a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellow. Edwards is currently the Associate Professor in Patristics in the Faculty of Theology and Religion and, since 2014, has held a chair as Professor of Early Christian Studies. As well as this, he has been a member of the committee of the Oxford Centre for Late Antiquity since its establishment and stands on the editorial boards of several journals. The problem of evil asks whether we can reconcile the existence of an omnibenevolent God with the existence of evil and suffering. Edwards will be investigating this question with respect to the ancient church fathers as well as more modern discussions on the topic.
