The Christian faith is profoundly ironic. From its historical development and the principal figures involved to the essence of its message, it is a worldview full of surprises, giving us exactly the opposite of what we expect. This irony is especially evident in the virtue of humility, both as displayed in the life of Christ and as divinely commanded for the daily practice of his followers. The aim of this paper is to explore humility as a Christian virtue and apply the insights drawn from this discussion to the problem of evil. The discussion will reveal a certain moral-theological coherence within Christianity that is normally hidden from view.
