Flourishing in the Face of Suffering and Death
Beatrice Institute, one of our sponsoring institutions, recently hosted a talk by Dr. Brent Robbins, Licensed Psychologist and Program Director of the PsyD Program in Clinical Psychology at Point Park University, for a discussion on a series of blessings from the New Testament called the Beatitudes.
Dr. Robbins looked at the Beatitudes as an answer to the problem of evil, suffering, and death, applying them through the lens of psychological research on human flourishing in conversation with figures like Rene Girard, Viktor Frankl, and Ernest Becker. The full video is available here:
