SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Evangel University is inviting people to participate in an Internet survey to reveal perspectives on evil, according to Assemblies of God News.
The survey, titled "Christian Responses to Theodicy: A Survey on the Problem of Evil," will explore what individual Christians mean when they say God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, and what they believe about God's relationship to the world.
The survey consists of 16 demographic questions and 50 survey questions and takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete, according to the news service. Those who participate can opt to have the results sent to them.
The results will be published in a forthcoming monograph on theodicy, the news service reported.
Theodicy, in its simplest form, asks the question, "If there is a being, God, who is all powerful, everywhere present, all knowing, all good and loving, why is there so much evil, suffering and pain in the world?"
