2: By Whose Design?
If the world was created for good men by a good God, what is evil doing there at all? Can its presence in any way be justified? In the second of six Lent talks, the Bishop of Bradford, The Rt Rev Geoffrey Paul , looks at the life of Jesus in search of a pattern of meaning In a creation marred by evil, pain and suffering. ' In Jesus, God steps right down into the vortex of injustice, betrayal and pain, and in the midst of sin and death themselves, sets up an Instrument of Healing that alters the whole complexion of the problem.'
