About this listen

For centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all, "If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?"

C.S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue, but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.

I have been an avid reader of Lewis for over 5 decades. His works, whether nonfiction/reflection, fiction or general essays have consistently nurtured my personal faith and spiritual
/philosophical thought.
I read The Problem of Pain many, many years ago, and have dipped into it over the years. Over the past 3 weeks I have listened to this Audible version TWICE - a thoughtful and stirring accompaniment to gardening and home duties.
No doubt I will revisit it again soon.
Thank you, Audible

It never ceases to amaze me how the things CS Lewis wrote so many years ago can seem so fresh. Then again, that’s the hallmark of great writing
