The basis for the story: answering a question
The Question: Why is there suffering in the world?
![Page 9: Pecha kucha](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/555464aab4c905aa798b4d2b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As it was in the beginning…
• Genesis 2:7-9
• Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood…
• 8Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Is it hot in here?
• 25Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

What happened?!
• Scholars, theologians, and everyday people wanted to know why the world wasn’t perfect
• It seems that because the world ISN’T perfect, God (who these people believe CREATED the world) is cruel, uncaring, or not real
• “Theodicy”
![Page 15: Pecha kucha](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/555464aab4c905aa798b4d2b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The religious dilemma
• Why was this important to Milton?
• Humanism, Renaissance called doctrine into question
• Necessity for logical replies
![Page 16: Pecha kucha](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/555464aab4c905aa798b4d2b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So here’s the problem…
• God = omnipotent and omniscient• John 1:1-3• 1 In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

• God = all loving• 1 John 4:8• 8 Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love.• John 3:16• 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

So the question is…
• If God is all powerful and loves humanity, why does suffering exist in the world?

Milton’s objective!
• “To justify the ways of God to men”
