POGOS: Yujin Nagasawa on the Problem of Evil for Atheists
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.
Professor Yujin Nagasawa (Professor of Philosophy & Co-Director of the John Hick Centre for the Philosophy of Religion, University of Birmingham) is the President of the British Society for Philosophy of Religion and a prolific author. His latest book is entitled Maximal God: A New Defence of Perfect Being Theology and was published with Oxford University Press. In addition to his many publications, he serves as the editor for the Cambridge Elements series in Philosophy of Religion and a leading journal at the intersection of philosophy and theology: Religious Studies. |
