Ehrman writes about the Problem of Evil and how Christians have attempted to “square the circle” the millennia. I love a good dilemma and this is a classic. Multiple horns and lots of consequences; according to Ehrman, too many facile responses to a very deep philosophical conundrum.

I just finished the tagged book for IRL book club tomorrow. It's an excellent book. I just don't know who it's for.
A lifelong Evangelical Christian and PhD Theologian asks " Why We Suffer?" And ultimately becomes an agnostic.
Other non religious people have drawn similar conclusions without the decades of rigorous scholarship.
Believers will undoubtedly want little to do with a book of this sort.
If you're intrigued, it's a good book.

Crazeedi We suffer because it's a fallen world. Till its restored, suffering is part of it. God does not cause suffering, mankind does. He is there to love us and give us hope in the midst of this mortal life. IMO 6y
Exbrarian And soundbite answers like that have entire chapters devoted to disproving them with Judeo-Christian scripture. 6y
