— In this video, I consider the following questions: Does any evil disprove God’s existence? Does unjustified evil disprove God’s existence? Could we know that there is unjustified evil? I look at Good of Nature Defense, the Freewill Defense,,the Character Building Defense, and the Punishment Defense. I also talk about the emotional problem of evil and Christ. Punishment Defense
— As Christians, we often face people who question our religion—even God’s existence in general. One of the most common arguments is “how can an all-loving God allow such hate, evil, and crime in the world?” It’s a good question. Today, Fr. Mark-Mary and Fr. Gregory Pine tackle the “problem of evil” and how God remains good in spite of the suffering of this world. Ascension is proud to partner with authentically Catholic institutions and organizations committed to spreading the Gospel.

— Machiavelli's highly influential treatise on political power The Prince shocked Europe on publication with its advocacy of ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality. Niccoló Machiavelli drew on his own experience of office under the turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of political theory and recognizing the complicated, transient nature of political life. Concerned not with lofty ideal but with a regime that would last, The Prince has become the bible of realpolitik, and it still retains its power to alarm and to instruct. In this edition, Machiavelli's tough-minded and pragmatic Italian is preserved in George Bull's clear, unambiguous translation.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

— The Meaning of Evil is one of the most profound yet accessible books written on this immensely important (and never more timely) topic. Deeply immersed in the highest traditions of realist philosophy and theology, Journet addresses the truly important issues surrounding the nature of evil and the burning questions demanded of us by its existence and (on occasion) seeming dominance in our world. Topics addressed include; the definitions of evil throughout history; the actual forms of evil--including the two forms of evil in man; and the inescapeable question: Does evil come from God? Journet also discusses the temptation to suicide and why the existence of evil actually proves, not disproves, the existence of an all-good God. This new edition of The Meaning of Evil (first published in English in 1963) also contains, as an extended introduction, a major re-assessment of Journet and his impressive corpus of work, as well as a theoretical treatment of Journet's concept of evil in the universe and as an ever-present element in the human condition.

How to explain the moral evil of human acts and the natural evil of nature? How could God be both all-powerful and all-good? Philosophers of religion offer 'defenses' (no logical contradiction between evil and God's existence) and 'theodicies' (complete systems explaining why God allows evil). But do they work?

Evil may be of two sorts: natural and moral. The first concerns events which though not directly attributable to human agents cause harm and suffering. Disease, earthquakes, famine, genetic defects, tsunamis, etc. are all examples of the natural evils, though where they can be traced to human agency and specifically to intention or neglect moral evil may also be involved. In itself it is not so much concerned with effects as with motivations and intentions though actions may be judged evil where they issue from general malevolence not only from particular bad intentions. Theologically the problem of evil and suffering is how to reconcile badness (natural or moral) with the theistic claim that the world is the creation of an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-good God.
