Suffering, Medicine, and Faith

How can God allow this to happen? Where is God in this terrible suffering? What kind of a God would create a world where there is so much pain? If you've ever wondered seriously about these questions with respect to human illness and suffering, whether for someone you're caring for or for your own self, this book is invaluable. Alas, it doesn't provide any perfect answers -- as if perfect answers could be provided -- but it provides a wide range of perspectives in thirteen thoughtful essays by twelve different authors. Some are physicians, some are theologians, some are ethicists, one is a rabbi, some are ministers. Somewhere among these voices you'll find one that speaks to you about these profound and disturbing issues. And while there are no easy answers, it is helpful to read the thoughts of other good people who have struggled with these questions, trying to reconcile the concept of a loving God with a suffering world.
