Why does suffering feel like an argument against God? Drawing on C.S. Lewis's provocative claim that Christianity doesn't solve the problem of pain but creates it, this talk works through the major Christian responses to suffering and evil: from Irenaeus's vision of humanity growing toward maturity, to Augustine's privatio boni, to the haunting silence of post-Holocaust theology and Job's unresolved confrontation with God. Rather than offering a tidy solution that squares evil away in a moral calculus, the talk argues that any honest response to suffering must retain a certain "dizziness"—a mystery that resists final explanation. The real answer, it turns out, isn't a philosophical formula but a person: Jesus Christ, who enters suffering rather than explaining it away.
