In this video I have a go at answering the question: “Can we trust God with our suffering?” I begin by distinguishing between two main approaches to the problem of suffering: the theoretical and the existential, and then proceed to explore the existential approach, suggesting two points for consideration:
(1) God suffers with us
(2) God suffers for us
- C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
- Timothy Keller, Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering
- Eleonore Stump, Wandering in Darkness: Narrative and the Problem of Suffering
- Amy Orr Ewing, Where Is God in All the Suffering?
