If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why is there so much evil in the world? Two Christian thinkers with different solutions to this age-old question join Justin.
Thomas Jay Oord is a theologian and philosopher who advocates a ‘non-coercive and uncontrolling’ view of God’s love and sovereignty. John C Peckham is a theologian whose latest book ‘Theodicy of Love’ suggests that God’s love is part of a cosmic drama of free spiritual and human agents that make sense of why evil exists.
At the end of the show Justin interviews Greg Koukl about the 10th anniversary edition of ‘Tactics: A game plan for discussing your Christian convictions’.

The cost of keeping hope on air is soaring.

Transmission costs are rising, and Premier receives no government funding. To keep broadcasting hope, truth and encouragement across the UK, an essential funding gap of £579,200 must be filled. 

From 21st September on Premier Christian Radio, join with other listeners to keep faith-filled content on air - for the paramedic driving home after a difficult shift, for the widow in the quiet moments, and for the new believer seeking answers to life's questions. 

If you want to lead the way, you can get in early today.
