Can Faith Make Sense of Suffering? | Meghan Sullivan & John Stuhr

33 min•5 februari 2026

In today’s episode, two philosophers explore this question: How should we understand suffering? Is it simply the opposite of human flourishing, or is there a deeper meaning? And what does suffering mean for belief in a good God?

You’ll hear from Meghan Sullivan, a philosopher at Notre Dame, and John Stuhr, a philosopher at Emory University. Drawing on both personal experience and philosophical commitments, they reflect on how Christian and naturalistic worldviews make sense of suffering in human life.

This forum was held at Emory in April 2025. Thank you to the student planning team for making this event possible.
