I was wondering if anyone knew of medieval discussions of the problem of
evil and suffering. I'd be interested to hear about reflections on the
problem of evil/suffering (n.b. how can an all-powerful, all-knowing,
benevolent deity allow evil in the world?) both scholastic and
non-scholastic.
Alternatively, I'd be interested to hear about medieval reflections on what
purpose, if any, the experience of pain, suffering -- especially illness --
fulfils.
many thanks,
Scott Matthews
