POGOS: Yujin Nagasawa on the Problem of Evil for Atheists

Jonathan Rutledge
Tuesday 28 May 2019

This week in Pogos we welcome Professor Yujin Nagasawa to the podcast. Rather than host an interview this week, as is our usual custom, we’ve decided to include the complete audio of his national lecture on the problem of evil for atheists, which was delivered as the National Logos Lecture for 2019.
