What Do You Know About The Power of Evil?
Saturday, 29 March, 2025
The evil that afflicts our lives often leaves us confused and directionless, wounded and powerless. How should we respond to evil's power to assault us? How can we understand God's work in a world that seems all too often to be permeated with evil? Narrating her own wrestling with evil as well as engaging in biblical and philosophical analysis, biblical scholar Ingrid Faro explores the many dimensions to evil. Soberly honest, biblically engaged, and theologically nuanced, Demystifying Evil examines the power of evil to disrupt and fragment our lives and tempt us to collude with it. But evil does not have the last word. Faro takes us on a journey into the book of Genesis, the Ancient Near East culture, the cross, and her own story of suffering to engage the undoing of evil. Dr. Ingrid Faro (PhD, MDiv) is Professor of Old Testament and Coordinator of the MA in Old Testament–Jerusalem University College Program at Northern Seminary in Lisle, Illinois. She previously served as Dean of Academic Affairs at Northern, Dean of Theology at the Scandinavian School of Theology, and Director of Masters Programs at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where she also taught Hebrew and Old Testament. She is an international speaker and the author of Evil in Genesis, Demystifying Evil, Honest Answers (co-author), and the forthcoming Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation, as well as numberous articles, chapters, and reviews. Ingrid lives just outside Chicago, Illinois, and has two married children and four delightful young grandchildren.
