Dr. Blehm notes that the question of why God allows evil and suffering is perhaps the biggest “existential” reason why people sometimes question God’s existence. That is to say, we experience evil and suffering in life or see others suffer, which prompts us to feel the problem more intensely than many intellectual arguments. In this lesson, Dr. Blehm not only provides some of the rational answers that have been given but notes that God has identified with our suffering in the person of Jesus Christ.

This lesson aims to equip you to:

1. Give rational answers to the question of evil and suffering.
2. Value the fact that God came to earth to suffer with us.
