Divine Dignity And Human Suffering

By Edgar Sheffield Brightman

Book Overview

""Divine Dignity and Human Suffering"" is a philosophical and theological exploration of the relationship between God's divine nature and human suffering. Written by Edgar Sheffield Brightman, a prominent American philosopher and theologian, the book delves into the question of how a loving and just God can allow for the existence of suffering in the world. Brightman argues that God's divine nature and dignity are not diminished by the presence of suffering, but rather that suffering can serve a purpose in bringing about spiritual growth and transformation. The book draws on a range of philosophical and theological traditions, including existentialism, process theology, and Christian mysticism, to offer a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on one of the most enduring questions of human existence. Ultimately, ""Divine Dignity and Human Suffering"" offers a hopeful and inspiring vision of how suffering can be transformed into a source of spiritual insight and personal growth.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Problem of God, by Edgar Sheffield Brightman.
