Reviews

Liderbach has read and experienced suffering as reported in scripture, literature (including contemporary fiction), theological reflection, and personal testimony from a wide variety of sufferers. He calls for a remythologization of the New Testament as a basis for reflecting on the suffering and its mystery. One of the most exciting chapters is a mythic dialog between C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton concerning Lewis's altered teachings about suffering after his wife died of cancer. This book, which presents a broad spectrum of views about various types of suffering, is quite useful for those struggling with what suffering says about God and humanity. Recommended for seminary and public libraries.
