Description
The Challenge of Evil, with Bastiaan Baan
We are surrounded by countless forms of evil — from the most subtle temptations to outbursts of total destruction.
In the first webinar session, we will discuss our first task in dealing with these numerous forms–recognizing and diagnosing their working.
In the second session, we will focus on confrontations with evil. What can we do — even if evil seems to be more powerful than we are?
In the third webinar, we will develop ideas about “therapy” for evil.
Although this seems to be a task for the far future, it is possible to begin here and now with redemption of evil.
This packet includes recordings to all three sessions.
