097-Questions & Answers for God Can't with Thomas Jay Oord
I am pleased to welcome back Thomas Jay Oord to the podcast. His new book 'Questions & Answers for God Can't' answers many questions that naturally follow from the ideas he presented in his previous work 'God Can't'
In his best-selling book, God Can't: How to Believe in God and Love After Tragedy, Abuse, and Other Evils, Thomas Jay Oord solves the problem of suffering. Oord offers five aspects of a real answer to why a loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The most helpful: God can't stop evil singlehandedly.
In this follow-up, Oord answers questions God Can't readers asked about his ground-breaking proposals. The answers are in this book, and they solve age-old conundrums.

A Golden Age
We are certainly living in a golden age of gospel scholarship. The ease of access to sources, productions, materials, and so on is matches only by their increasingly improving quality! The abundance of books, lectures, podcasts, institutions, publications, shows, and commentaries presents a wealth of knowledge, insights, opinions, research, and testimony reflecting the expertises, convictions, and passions active within (and near) the LDS Church today. Never has it been as easy to heed the commandments of D&C 88 than it is in these days. Discipleship and scholarship are truly rolling forth together, and it is nothing short of an embarrassment of riches at our disposal! I’m so pleased with this podcast!
Thank You
A huge thank you to the Ostler family. I plan on purchasing the volume series, but in the meantime this podcast is a fantastic primer. One minor note, Blake mentioned in episode 007 that Widtsoe doesn’t cite the scriptures in his work Rational Theology. While reading it I found that in at least one section, so far, titled ‘The Foundation of a Rational Theology’ he quotes D&C 93. Thank you again, for all of your hard work with the podcast, and especially to Blake for sharing a lifetime of knowledge that is helping me a great deal with my own growth.
