Episode 1

Our Complicated History with Evil

Hitler is evil. Helping an old lady cross the street is good. Simple, right? But there’s an underlying question here: Why? What are good and evil?

Biblical scholar, Dr. Dru Johnson is back with us in Season Two of Discover Your Roots to unpack weighty questions about the nature of good and evil. In this episode, Dr. Johnson gives us an overview of the season, walking us through a few common conceptions (and misconceptions!) about good and evil through the lens of psychology, philosophy, culture, and—ultimately—Scripture. You won’t want to miss this season!
