The Problem of Pain

People have been disturbed by one question in particular for centuries: 'If God is wonderful and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?' What about animal suffering, which neither deserves nor can be alleviated by it? The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to solve this perplexing problem. C.S. Lewis answers these vital issues and gives his hope and wisdom to help heal a world yearning for a true knowledge of human nature with his distinctive abundance of compassion and insight.
