The Problem of Evil and Jewish Philosophy with Rabbi Dr. Harris
Description
In this podcast, Rabbi Dr. Harris explains the various classical and contemporary solutions to the problem of evil and how these ideas can be found in traditional Jewish sources such as the book of Job (Iyov) and the Talmud. Rabbi Dr. Harris pays particular attention to the more recent notion of 'Skeptical theism Theism' which is the thesis that we should be skeptical about our ability to understand why there is so much evil and suffering in the world.
Rabbi Dr. Harris was born in London and has been rabbi of the Hampstead Synagogue since 1995. Prior to this he was rabbi of the Southend and Westcliff community. He has semicha from the Israeli Chief Rabbinate and holds a PhD in philosophy from London University. He additionally studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Cambridge and completed his masters in philosophy and Jewish thought at Hebrew University.
