1 Associated Canadian Theological Schools Instructor: Paul Chamberlain, Ph.D. Summer, credit hours paul.chamberlain@twu.ca Phone: (3806) Course Dates: 30 April to 3 August Class days: 1 May to 4 May Class Times: 8.30 am to 1.30 pm Paul Chamberlain has taught at Trinity Western University since During part of that time He has also been involved with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. His primary areas of teaching are Christian Apologetics, Ethics, Philosophy of Religion and Political Philosophy. He is the author of four books and a number of articles on social and apologetic issues. He currently serves as professor of Apologetics and Ethics at ACTS and is Director of the Institute for Christian Apologetics at ACTS. I. Course Description One of the most long-standing problems for Christian Theism is the problem of evil. This course will be an examination of this problem and will entail two major steps. First we will seek to understand the nature of the challenge to Christianity that is represented by this problem in both its logical and probabilistic forms. Secondly, we will examine the kinds of responses that are offered to it. Our underlying goal through this entire process will be to increase our effectiveness in presenting the message of Christianity in a manner that is compelling, accurate, and credible for the sake of both Christians and non-christians. II. Objectives The purpose of this course is to: 1. Provide students with a deep understanding of the problem of evil in its various forms, 2. Demonstrate the necessity of finding and communicating responses to this obstacle to the faith of others, 3. Expose students to a number of the key defenses and theodicies which have been developed by Christian thinkers, 4. Encourage and strengthen the faith of Christian students through this process, particularly those who are struggling with some personal evil or suffering themselves, 5. Help students develop the ability to defend Christian truth claims in the face of the problem of evil.

Course Assignments Research Essay Develop a research question based on the problem of evil. Draft a research paper addressing the question using some of the sources above as well as others. Be sure to include a statement of the challenge to Christianity from the presence of evil along with strong arguments in its favor, a clear thesis stating what you plan to argue in your essay, the strongest arguments you can find for your case, and a fair and accurate portrayal of the objection you are addressing. The paper may be written either in formal research style, or as a dialogue between two fictional characters. Either paper should include non-christian and Christian sources and should convincingly portray both sides of the argument. Please be advised that your research for the essay must include interaction with Christian sources as well as non-christian ones which are unsympathetic to your personal perspective. This will provide first-hand knowledge of opposing perspectives and the rational given for them. It will also be indispensable in refining your own views and arguments. In your research into unsympathetic perspectives, be sure to include Internet sources along with other more traditional ways of research. The web sites of skeptic s societies, atheistic associations, humanist groups, etc., are especially helpful in this regard. These should be documented appropriately. Essay length: pages (4,000 5,000 words) Value: 600% Due Date: July 2, 2018 In-class Seminar Presentations These are not intended to be prepared or even begun before the course begins. They will be prepared during the course and due at various times throughout the course as agreed upon at the first class session.
5 Summer, 2012 Page 5 Each student will lead the class in one seminar on an assigned reading. Each seminar presentation will consist of: A basic summary of the author s most important ideas, Your assessment of and response to them. For example, hi-light points of agreement and disagreement with the author, draw out assumptions you find the author making, and give apologetic responses to them. Then respond to questions from your colleagues and professor. Your presentations should be approximately half summary and half assessment. You will prepare a 5-6 page written document, in polished form, which you will read from and distribute to the class at the beginning of your presentation.

If classes are to be cancelled beyond 1:00 p.m., this decision will be announced by the same means before 11:00 a.m. that day. Students and faculty should assume that all night classes will continue to operate. If the emergency continues into the evening, students and faculty may check for a closure notice on the University's switchboard and website after 3:00 p.m. that day.

7 Summer, 2012 Page 7 As Christian scholars pursuing higher education, academic integrity is a core value of the entire TWU community. Students are invited into this scholarly culture and required to abide by the principles of sound academic scholarship at TWU. This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding all forms of plagiarism and cheating in scholarly work. TWU has a strict policy on plagiarism (see academic calendar , pp ). Further details on this subject are contained in the ACTS Student Handbook in section The handbook is available online on the ACTS webpage ( at the following link: Learning what constitutes plagiarism and avoiding it is the student's responsibility. An excellent resource describing plagiarism and how to avoid it has been prepared by TWU Librarian William Badke and is freely available for download (PPT file) or used as flash (self running) tutorials of varying lengths from: ; (14 minute flash tutorial) (8 minute flash tutorial) Equity of Access It is the responsibility of a student with a learning disability to inform the ACTS Director of Student Life of that fact before the beginning of a course so that necessary arrangements may be made to facilitate the student s learning experience. We are unable to accommodate any student who informs the Director of Student Life of a disability after the beginning of class.
