In a world where advertisements lead us to hope for a life free
from suffering, facing the reality of suffering can be a particular
challenge. Yet the reality of suffering is one that we all face in
the course of our lives. While Christianity often has the
reputation of a tradition that promotes the idea that all suffering
is good for you and makes you a better person, there is, in fact,
much more variety and nuance to the tradition. While there are
those who advocate a wholesale acceptance, there are others who
question the source of suffering and call for it to be fought
against. This book delves into the world of five
theologians-Gregory the Great, Julian of Norwich, Jeremy Taylor, C.
S. Lewis and Ivone Gebara-to understand their perspectives and draw
on their approaches as a way of understanding what Christian
responses to suffering look like. This book constructs a
contemporary theology that affirms the importance of the call to
combat unjust suffering through acts of love and mercy, while also
affirming that acceptance of the reality of endemic suffering,
found in all five theologians, can provide us with opportunities to
grow spiritually, live more faithfully and to experience the
blessings in the midst of suffering that are a foretaste of
heavenly bliss.
