Why Do We Suffer?: A Scriptural Approach to the Human Condition
The question of suffering naturally evokes questions about the existence and nature of God, ethics, justice, sin, and life after death. <i>Why Do We Suffer?</i> helps you understand the concepts, vocabulary, and context of suffering in the Bible. Establishing a framework with the Old Testament, Harrington develops how Jesus' teaching and example shapes Christian understanding in the New Testament. Addressing difficult questions in a readable, pastoral style, Father Harrington helps you draw meaningful and personal connections between Scripture and your own experience, and that of everyone who struggles to make sense of the human condition.
