Classical Theism PodcastBONUS|How does privation theory deal with pain? w/ Harrison JenningsWhat is the privation theory of evil? How does it account for the positive reality of physical pain? Harrison Jennings joins us to explore this thorny issue. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.2022-03-0741 min
