This compelling study by J. Christiaan Beker provides a moving,
triumphant answer to one of life's greatest mysteries - the
presence of suffering in God's world. Now an established classic in
the discussion of the problem of evil, Suffering and Hope plumbs
the Old Testament's response to earthly pain as well as Paul's own
dealings with 'redemptive suffering.' Beker seeks to understand how
the Bible's view of suffering relates to our present experience of
suffering and to the Christian hope for the future creation. His
concern is with the quality and character of bothe suffering and
hope in a world where the question of suffering is inescapable.
This powerful new edition features a foreword by Ben C. Ollenburger
that describes the story behind the book - the dehumanizing
conditions Beker endured as a slave laborer during the Nazi
occupation of the Netherlands and the ways in which they helped
shape the particular poignancy of his view of suffering. Readers
will be moved both by Beker's personal transparency and by his
biblical vision of 'hopeful suffering' - the apocalyptic trust in
God's eventual victory over the power of death that poisons his
creation.
