概要
Podcast Description
In this episode, we explore humanity's ancient struggle with unseen forces: Athenagoras defends Christians against accusations of atheism by exposing the demonic origins behind pagan idols and false gods, showing how poets and philosophers missed divine providence amid chaos. Augustine wrestles with the origin of evil, finding no easy answer but clinging to faith in God's unchangeable goodness. Thomas Aquinas closes with a foundational truth: every human action—whether deliberate or impulsive—is directed toward an end, because the will always seeks a perceived good. Together, these voices from the early Church and medieval theology remind us that our deepest questions about evil, purpose, and the unseen world find their resolution only in Christ.
