The "Problem of Evil" explores why a just and omnipotent God allows suffering, a question central to philosophy and theology. The Book of Job provides a profound response, illustrating that human suffering is not always linked to personal wrongdoing. Job, a righteous man, endures immense suffering, challenging the belief that prosperity follows virtue. Instead of direct answers, God’s response emphasizes divine wisdom beyond human comprehension. Job ultimately submits to God’s authority, showcasing faith amidst suffering. The narrative suggests that trust in divine justice, rather than complete understanding, is key to grappling with the problem of evil.

KIERKEGAARD'S VIEWS ON FREE WILL
https://storage2.snappages.site/C78H8N/assets/files/KIERKEGAARDS-VIEWS-ON-FREE-WILL.pdf
Søren Kierkegaard's views on free will are deeply rooted in his existentialist philosophy, emphasizing individual choice, responsibility, and faith. He argues that true freedom comes not from external circumstances but from an inner relationship with God. Through concepts like the "leap of faith" and the "either/or" dilemma, Kierkegaard highlights the tension between aesthetic, ethical, and religious modes of life. He critiques deterministic views, asserting that human beings have the capacity for self-determination, though this freedom carries existential anxiety. Ultimately, he sees free will as essential for authentic existence, requiring both self-awareness and a commitment to transcendence.
