SPECIAL: How to (Not) Solve the Problem of Evil

On this special episode, host Dave Lester discusses the problem of evil called the nastiest question that theists have to deal with. He talks about how the problem of evil is philosophically formulated, how people of faith respond to the challenge of theodicy and ends talking with Terrence Malick's all-encompassing spiritual vision of life in his film, "The Tree of Life."
