How will these resources help you?

Many religions and worldviews hold the belief that there is some form of all-powerful, all-loving being or force in existence in the universe. The existence of suffering on this Earth therefore poses a challenge, as there must be a reason why a being that is all-loving allows suffering to happen. Epicurus raised this 2300 years ago in Ancient Greece, when he asked if God is not able to stop suffering, and not willing to, then ‘Why call him God?’. As one of the biggest challenges to belief in God, this is an essential philosophical question to discuss and evaluate in the classroom. This list includes introductory resources that could be used from KS3 onwards, and case studies that explain and explore ‘the Problem’ for older students.
