In this episode we look at the objections of the Modern Moral Order to Orthodox Christianity:
i) it offends reason by holding a place for mystery
ii) it is authoritarian by holding an Almighty above us, offending both reason and freedom
iii) it poses impossible problems of theodicy
iv) it threatens the order of mutual benefit.
Of these, we take a particular look at theodicy, and the range of responses people might take.
