November 9-11, 2023
AIIAS, Silang, Cavite, Philippines
This forum aims to explore the issues of God’s creation, evil, suffering, pain, and oppression; the struggle that we experience at one time or another in life with why evil happens to someone, either ourselves, our family, our friends, our nation, or perhaps some alarming instance.
This fascinating topic will be addressed from the biblical, theological-historical, and missiological perspectives.
This year’s forum theme is: “Theodicy: God’s Justice in an Unjust World.” Theodicy means ‘justifying God.’ In the philosophy of religion, a ‘theodicy’ is the argument that attempt to resolve the problem of evil that arises when omnipotent, omnibenevolence, and omniscience are all simultaneously ascribed to God. Theodicy is the vindication of divine goodness and providence, given the existence of evil.
The forum booklet contains the welcome pages, event schedule and speakers' bios.

AIIAS Forum is an academic platform for pastors, theologians, elders, and anyone interested in theology. This is a program which encourages participants to exchange their ideas and experiences, and a bridge for them to make friends and foster cooperation.
The forum has grown from a training platform for Seminary students’ research presentation into a global community that tackles current issues in the areas of applied theology, biblical studies, and theological-historical studies. In recent years, the forum has adopted official statements that have shaped the direction of the Seventh-day Adventist church both in research and in practice.
Participants have enjoyed the fellowship and networking experience through this forum. Despite the circumstances, there is no holding back from yet another exciting forum this year on a crucial theme featuring an amazing lineup of speakers.
