Sometimes, bad grades might even harm your relationship with your family. Another problem is that poor grades tend to diminish…
John Swinton’s, “Raging with Compassion: Pastoral Responses to the Problem of Evil”, is the most informative book I have read regarding practical theodicy. Swinton’s pastoral theodicy does not try to explain or deny evil or suffering, but enables the Christian community to live faithfully despite the presence of evil. He explains that lament; forgiveness, thoughtfulness and hospitality are the four-core practices that form the bases of practical theodicy. As I reflect on the four-core…

example I would have the class come up with problems that happen at school or in the school yard or among their friend and then in groups, students would come up with solutions to these problems. These solutions would not be inventions, but instead real life solutions that the students could apply everyday.

Solving the Gettier Problem American philosopher Edmund L. Gettier challenges the way knowledge is analyzed in his famous 1963 paper “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?” Gettier writes two cases in his paper, which illustrate that knowledge is more than just true belief and justification. As a side note: when I refer to the term “justification,” readers should know that justification is different from one person to another. Also, justification can change throughout time (Mason, “D.
