    will: St. Augustine’s View on Evil This paper examines St. Augustine’s view on evil. St. Augustine believed that God made a perfect world‚ but that God’s creatures turned away from God of their own free will and that is how evil originated in the world.

According to Augustine‚ God

    loving God and the reality of evil is usually referred to as a theodicy. A theodicy attempts to solve the apparent tensions in what is often termed the problem of evil.

    12/2/09 How can a God who is both omnipotent and good allow evil in the world? For Christians‚ evil can be a problem because non-believers can use it as a way to attack Christianity. The first thing they might say is if there is evil‚ then God must not be good or omnipotent because he is allowing it. Yes‚ God allows evil in the world‚ but evil does not come from God. Evil comes directly from Satan. We see this in the book of Matthew‚ vs. 1-11‚ where Satan tries to tempt Jesus. Another way
