Suffering

A valuable contribution to the literature of theology and ethics combining in a fascinating way biblical theological pastoral and socioethical themes. . . The study is of immense value because it identifies the modern idolatry that views suffering as absurd and devoid of meaning. . . The book is a marvelous exercise in cultural self-analysis that is preliminary to any meaningful exorcism and redirection. --Kenneth Vaux Theology Today Passionate imaginative learned literary pithy and at every point searching Suffering is a notable achievement not least because it pricks the heart and conscience making the reader share in the deep experience of suffering that lies behind its writing. --James A.
