The Problem of Pain. [The Christian Challenge Series.]

FIRST EDITION, page borders a little toned throughout, a sprinkling of spots to prelims, pp. ix, 148, crown 8vo, original black cloth, backstrip with printed label (this browned and a little rubbed), backstrip with wear at tips, lower board with darkened patch at lower-half of fore-margin, contemporary ownership inscription to flyleaf, light spotting to endpapers, good. An early theological work, scarce as a first edition; its epigraph is drawn from the work of George MacDonald, its printed dedication to 'The Inklings', others of whom (Austin Farrer and Charles Williams) also contributed to the publisher's 'Christian Challenge' series.
