Why Suffering?

Why would a loving and powerful God allow so much pain and suffering? In WHY SUFFERING? Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale carefully walk you through a variety of responses that considered together provide a clear, comprehensive, and convincing answer. Responses like:

• Where there is the possibility of love, there has to be the reality of freedom, and therefore the possibility of pain.
• Wishing God had made a different world is to wish yourself out of existence.
• The cross is the key to a compelling and rational explanation for trusting in God in the face of suffering.
• In comparison with other world religions, the Christian response is highly distinctive.
• The reality of evil only makes sense in light of the reality of divine goodness.
• Relational knowledge about God takes the argument beyond reason to the presence of God amidst suffering.
• God's decision to allow temporal suffering is understandable when viewed from an eternal perspective.
• Divine goodness shows how to conquer not in spite of, but even through suffering.
