This volume approaches questions concerning the status and meaning
of suffering in Christian life and Christian theology through the
lens of a variety of theological disciplines - biblical,
historical, practical, political and systematic theology. Scholars
from this range of fields concentrate on a number of questions: Is
love intrinsically linked with suffering? Are suffering and loss on
some level fundamentally good? How is - and how should - suffering
and diminishment be viewed in the Christian tradition? Featuring
leading voices that include Linn Tonstad, Bernard McGinn, Anna
Rowlands, John Swinton and Paul Murray, this volume brings together
essays touching on concrete issues such as cancer, mental health,
and the experience of refugees, and discusses broad themes
including vulnerability, kenosis and tragedy. In correlating these
themes with the examination of texts ranging from Paul's letters to
works of the Cappadocians, Thomas Aquinas, John of the Cross and
Mother Teresa, Suffering and the Christian Life offers fresh and
accessible academic approaches to a question of vital personal,
existential significance.
