The “problem of evil” is more than just the problem of how a good God could allow evil to exist.  In its broadest interpretation, it means something closer to the problem of the meaning of life:  How are we to make sense of our place in a world where evil exists? These days it seems profound reflection on this important question is done as much through cinema as it is through academic theology and philosophy.  In this film discussion series, we will follow a chronological journey through Western religion, moving from modernized meditations on the Hebrew book of Job (9/19 - "A Serious Man") and the Greek tragedy of Oedipus (10/24 -"Oldboy") to investigations into the continuing relevance of classical Christian concepts such as sacrificial suffering (11/14 - "Dead Man Walking") and the figure of the Devil (12/12 - "Requiem").  We will watch the movies together and then enjoy a lively discussion where all viewpoints are welcome.

Fuller Conversations fosters a dialogical space for the creative integration of worship, theology and the arts in culture. From conversations on the emergent church to film and art discussions, Fuller Conversations seeks to explore how faith in Jesus Christ is related to human flourishing in every sphere of life.
