From the author of Mere Christianity, the greatest Christian thinker of our time offers an answer to one of the fundamental questions of faith: why must we suffer?
‘If God is good and all powerful, why does he allow his characters to suffer pain?’ And what about animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle these knotty issues.
We are all likely to encounter or endure suffering at some point in our lives. Many of us, no matter our personal philosophy, find our beliefs tested by hardship. In The Problem of Pain, the greatest Christian thinker of our time offers answers to these fundamental questions of faith and shares his hope and wisdom to guide a world in search of truth and meaning.
