Welcome to
Dr. Barry Whitney's Virtual
Study
This
website is the web home of Dr. Barry Whitney's "THINKING
about GOD" and "PEACE
with GOD" Resources.
Dr. Whitney is Professor of Christianity and Religion
and Culture at the University of Windsor in Canada. Several
thousand students have enrolled in his courses on God
and Evil, Justifying
Religious Beliefs, God
and Atheism, Religion
and Culture, Religion
and Science, Religion
and Literature,
and many others, at both the graduate and undergraduate
levels. Dr. Whitney has published important works
on various theological themes, focusing especially
on God and Evil. He has been Editor-in-Chief of Process
Studies, an international academic journal, since
1996, and has taught more than 165 courses on a
wide variety of themes and issues in Christian
Theology and Philosophy of Religion: faith and
reason, justifying religious beliefs, God's existence,
miracles, life after death, the problem of evil
and suffering, religious experiences, and biblical
studies. He has taught courses also which discuss
and respond to atheism, secular humanism, scientific
and philosophical naturalism, and New Age Spiritualities
and cults. Many of these themes and issues are being
published in his Podcasts, as time permits.
Dr.
Whitney is a recognized authority in Theodicy, "The
Problem of God and Evil'. He has written several
books and dozens of book chapters, academic articles
and reviews, and given many interviews on this
important theological (and deeply personal) issue.
His book, Theodicy:
An Annotated Bibliography on the Problem of God and Evil (Garland
Publications, 1993),
revised and expanded for a new publisher (Philosophy
Documentation Center) in 1998, remains
the essential resource for scholars working in the field
and has been helpful to many others who seek insight into
the problem of God and suffering. Dr. Whitney wrote
the "Evil" and "Theodicy" entries
in the New
Catholic Encyclopedia (Catholic
U of America/Gale Group, 2002),
the popular book, What
Are They Saying About God and Evil? (Paulist
Press:1989),
currently being revised and expanded for another publisher
to give more attention to traditional Christianity
and biblical teaching on suffering, and many other publications,
including Evil
and the Process God (Edwin
Mellen Press, 1985) and
the opening chapter in The
Big Argument (Strand: Australia,
2005 and Msster Books, USA, 2006). Some of his major
writings on the problem of evil, other than his own books,
are published in academic articles, including The
Southern
Journal of Philosophy, Studies in Religion (Canada), Philosophy
Research Archives: Journal of Philosophical Research, The
Personalist Forum, Sophia
(Australia),
International Journal of Philosophy
of Religion, International Philosophical Quarterly, Horizons:
Journal of the College Theology Society, etc.,
and in book chapters, especially God,
Literature, and Process Thought (Ashgate:
New York, 2002), and Hartshorne,
Process Theology and Philosophy (State
U of New York, 1989), Non-Violence:
Central to Christian Spirituality (Edwin
Mellen: 1982), and The
