The Problem of Pain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Problem of Pain is a 1940 book by C. S. Lewis, in which he seeks to provide an intellectual Christian response to questions about suffering. The book is a theodicy, an attempt by one Christian layman to reconcile orthodox Christian belief in a loving and omnipotent God with the fact that people suffer, and is not intended to provide comfort to those actually suffering. Some have felt that it is useful to read it together with A Grief Observed, Lewis' reflections on his own experience of severe emotional pain. (Some have represented Lewis as losing the faith expressed in The Problem of Pain because of the experiences recorded in A Grief Observed, but this is disputed.)
