In this project-thesis we undertook a study of the philosophical problem of evil as it has historically arisen in western thought. We studied three traditional responses that have been made at various intervals to the problem of evil, that of Leibniz, Augustine, and Calvin, the thought of Walter Kaufmann on the problem of evil, and three non-traditional responses to the problem made by Spinoza, Schleiermacher, Unamuno, and David Ray Griffin. In a ten week study group we addressed the philosophical problem of evil with a group of interested laypersons. Our argument was that traditional and popular attributes of divine omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection ought to be modified or altered in order that intelligent, perceptive, and sensitive church members would have fewer problems of guilt and fewer intellectual problems in their encounters with empirical evil and suffering.
