The Problem of Pain - Thryft

Theodicy explored through Lewis's compelling logic.

If you've ever wrestled with the idea of why a kind, omnipotent deity would permit suffering, C.S. Lewis tackles this profound question with a blend of empathy and intellect that resonates deeply. This read could offer you a fresh perspective wrapped in Lewis's masterful reasoning, providing not just comfort but also a thought-provoking journey through human pain and divine purpose.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For centuries people have been tormented by one question above all: If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? And what of the suffering of animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle this knotty issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C. S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungry for a true understanding of human nature.
