The Problem of Pain

C.S. Lewis

"In The Problem of Pain, C.S. Lewis, one of the most renowned Christian authors and thinkers, examines a universally applicable question within the human condition: If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? 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 hungering for a true understanding of human nature."--Amazon.

Lewis deals with the problem of pain in typical fashion. There are smatterings of wonderful analogies, deep veins of theological thought, and a focus on God and his purposes. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion Lewis had with the reader.
