Why We Suffer
If there is one indisputably universal feature of human existence, it is that we all suffer. Suffering and its causes are called “evil,” and we would like to know what it is and why it happens to us and our fellow creatures. Indeed, suffering seems to be exacerbated by our inability to understand its meaning. How can we make sense of the pain, suffering, and evil that surrounds us? What are their ultimate causes or reasons? Are they compatible with a good God? In this seminar, we will reflect on these questions with the help of some suggestive texts.
