God, Evil, and Innocent Suffering: A Theological Reflection

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Do people suffer only because they deserve to suffer? According to classical Christian belief, yes. John Thiel, however, insists that some people who suffer are truly innocent. Innocent suffering suggests a different way of thinking about God’s presence, including how God is not directly involved in human suffering and death.
