Vince Vitale, PhD
Author | Speaker | Faculty Scholar - CEO Forum
Dr. Vince Vitale was educated at Princeton University and the University of Oxford, where he also taught philosophy and theology -- briefly at Princeton and then for several years at Oxford. While an undergraduate student at Princeton, Vince journeyed from skeptic to believer after being challenged to read the Bible by two soccer teammates.
Vince serves as Faculty Scholar at CEO Forum and was previously RZIM’s Regional Director for the Americas. He has co-authored two books—Why Suffering?: Finding Meaning and Comfort When Life Doesn’t Make Sense (2014) and Jesus Among Secular Gods: The Countercultural Claims of Christ (2017).
While researching at Oxford, Vince developed a new response to the problem of evil. This response is discussed in book form with Oxford University Press as Non-Identity Theodicy: A Grace-Based Response to the Problem of Evil (2020). InterVarsity Press and Tyndale House selected Vince as IVP Young Philosopher of Religion of the Year 2013. In addition to his focus on biblical and cultural questions, Vince has strong interests in the topics of reconciliation, leadership, and theology of work, as well as in the intersection of faith and sport. He played varsity soccer at Princeton, was a “double Blue” at Oxford (competing for the university in soccer and boxing).
Vince is married to Dr. Jo Vitale, who most recently served as a speaker and Dean of Studies at RZIM. Vince and Jo enjoy giving talks together, and trying (unsuccessfully!) to keep up with their
young children, Raphael and Jonathan.

Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Philosopher Dr Vince Vitale presents some of his PhD research around evil, suffering and theodicy. He and Ruth Jackson share their own experiences of suffering miscarriages, demonstrating that this is not just a theoretical question of why there is pain, but a deeply practical one of how we are to deal with this agony.
Non-Identity Theodicy: A Grace-Based Response to the Problem of Evil Non-Identity Theodicy: A Grace-Based Response to the Problem of Evil
In one of the first substantial conversations I had on the topic of suffering, my aunt Regina expressed to me how difficult it was to see her son, Charles, struggle with a profound disability. Putting the question before the questioner, I began spouting some of my abstract, philosophical ideas about why God might allow suffering. After listening very graciously, Aunt Regina turned to me and said, “But Vince, that doesn’t speak to me as a mother.”
Sharon Miller, PhD
Author | Leader - Bright City Church
Sharon Hodde Miller leads Bright City Church in Durham, NC with her husband, Ike. She also holds a PhD on women and calling, and is the author of several books, including her most recent one, The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, The Anxiety It Gives Us, And The Real Power God Promises.
The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, The Anxiety It Gives Us, And The Real Power God Promises
We all wish we had more control. When our relationships are strained, when our bodies refuse to cooperate, when the future is uncertain, control promises security and peace. If only I were in charge, we dream. And this illusion seems more attainable than ever. Technology, science, medicine, and the internet all promise us ever-increasing mastery over our world.
The problem is, control is a "devil's deal." The more we seek it, the more it betrays us. In place of predictability, it gives us anxiety. In place of certainty, it creates more complexity. And in place of unity, it divides. It's not just that we cannot control things; it's that we break them even more when we try
