|
Why must humanity suffer? In this elegant and thoughtful work, C. S. Lewis questions the pain and suffering that occur everyday and how this contrasts with the notion of a God that is both omnipotent and good. An answer to this critical theological problem is found within these pages.

Summary: A philosophical approach to the theology of suffering, pain and evil
Comment: This is a helpful book for Christians who wonder about God's permissive and causative will in regard to pain and suffering among people, Christians and non-Christians, and in regard to evil in the world.
Lewis offers intriguing and enlightening discussions that highlight man's limited and finite understanding contrasted with God infinite wisdom and understanding founded upon his unconditional and unlimited love for all people.
Lewis' bottomline rests on the truth that God is good, is love and knows all things. God sees all things in light of eternity and in light of the eternal destinations of heaven and hell. His goal, beyond pain and pleasure, is to have people with him in heaven for eternity. The problem of pain and evil must be seen in light of this reality.
Lewis offers his usual adroit, simply-stated and profound writing and argument.

Summary: Superb!
Comment: C.S. Lewis addresses one of the most difficult issues that we as humans must face in our journey through life! Why "pain"....I could never do justice to his literary work.....I'll suffice it to say that this book holds 'the answers' to anyone's serious inquirey of the Universal Question of "WHY"! A "must read". Dr. Cary Simonds
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lewis' "The Problem of Pain" always relevant
Comment: You don't have to be religious to get something from this book. It is about one of the BIG questions we all have - and C.S. Lewis nails it. How do we mere mortals deal with a perfect God who allows things to be "less than perfect"? This is a good read, short, well written and cogent.The Problem of Pain
Customer Rating:
Summary: C.S. Lewis Classic
Comment: C.S. Lewis was a facinating writer. This is a hard read. Lewis challenges us to face and grip pain. Don't read this if you want something light. Read this if you want something more.
