This talk recognises the personal nature of suffering and asks how God can allow it.

Suffering comes to us all at times. This talk considers why suffering exists and whether a universe without the possibility of suffering might also lack other things we desire. It then considers what Christians believe God has done about suffering – and what difference Jesus Christ makes. Finally, the talk considers how God is going to resolve the issue of suffering in the future.
