Interesting Topic For Both Clergy and Lay People

This is an interesting topic, one in which there has been little real work. I have found it especially helpful when I make hospital visits. People often have a tendency to want to blame God for their physical or mental ailments; I know I did. This work examines this issue in light of the Church Fathers, and for me at least, it was a helpful read.
