Everyone understands human pain. But many Christians have
difficulty comprehending God's pain, especially God's pain in the
death of Christ. Is it atonement or child abuse? To speak of God in
pain, says Barbara Brown Taylor, is not only to address the
biblical stories of Christ's suffering and death, but also to
proclaim the God who is present in our pain. This volume of
teaching sermons on suffering presents different approaches to the
problem of God in pain. In each sermon, Taylor speaks with
sensitivity and profound insight as she addresses pain and both its
human and divine impact.
