War, disease, natural disasters, abuse, pain, and death - why do we suffer? And if God is loving, all-powerful, and in control, why doesn't he make it all stop? Surprisingly, the Bible does not have a single answer to these questions.
In God's Problem, Bart Ehrman, the New York Times bestselling author of Misquoting Jesus, discusses his personal anguish following his discovery that the Bible only provides incoherent and conflicting reasons for human suffering. According to the prophets, suffering is a punishment for sin. Apocalyptic texts promise that God will eventually make all things right. And the Book of Job provides two explanations for suffering: it is both a test, and something beyond comprehension. While writing this book, Ehrman became so disillusioned by what he discovered, he actually lost his faith. Bart D. Ehrman chairs the department of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A leading authority on the early Church and the life of Jesus, he has been featured in Time and has appeared on Dateline NBC, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, CNN, the History Channel, major NPR shows, and other top media outlets. He is the author of twenty books and lives in Durham, N.C. "[God's Problem is a] serious inquiry ... Ehrman pursues it with an energy and goodwill that invite further conversation with sympathetic and unsympathetic readers alike. This book neither trivializes its subject nor demonizes those who have a different view of it which is more than can be said for the efforts of those fashionable atheist writers whose major form of argument would seem to be ridicule." - Stanley Fish in the New York TimesNoch keine Bewertungen vorhanden
