About event
At the end of 2024, a well -known apologetic book problem was published by Porta Libri. C.S.lewis argued in this work that the reality of suffering in life should not be a threat to our faith in the reality of God. But did Lewis himself have a different view of the problem of suffering before his death? And is the world in 2025 the same as the one seen by Lewis more than 80 years ago? These will be the questions we will ask together with Stephen Williams, in his lecture "The problem of pain_2.025".

Who will be our guest:
Stephen Williams (1952) is a theologian, author and university professor, originally from Wales in the UK. Stephen first studied modern history in Oxford and then theology at the University of Cambridge (MA). He defended the doctoral PhD title at Yale University, USA in 1981. He worked as a professor at Union Theological College, Northern Ireland. In 2017 he was appointed Honorary Professor Queen's University in Belfast. His main branch was Christian theology all his life, but he also published work in the field of bioethics and regularly lectured on the life and work of C. S. Lewis. In 2018, he completed a research stay at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago, where he examined the relationship between Christian understanding of creation and philosophies that are the basis of the development of artificial intelligence.
