Famine, sickness, terrorist attacks, natural disasters—each day horrific scenes of suffering stream before us via television, the Internet, and newspapers. Believers are taught that God is good, and they believe this truth. Yet when faced with suffering and hardships, the one question believers are most often asked is, why?
Suffering and the Goodness of God brings insight to many contemporary concerns of suffering by outlining Old and New Testament truths and tackling difficult questions about God’s sovereignty, human freedom, and the nature of evil. This volume offers believers biblical truths concerning suffering, and then challenges them to promote justice in the harsh, unsure world around them, and emulate God’s grace as they minister to those who are suffering.
