God's Problem by Bart D Ehrman

God's Problem by Bart D Ehrman

Discusses the author's personal anguish when he discovered the Bible's incoherent explanations for suffering and how that caused him to lose his faith altogether. This book reveals the core responses to suffering that are proposed by different biblical writers.

"Ehrman's clarity, simplicity, and congeniality help make this a superb introduction to its subject" -- Booklist "Ehrman, a prolific and popular author, has put his journey into words in a new book "God's Problem. ...Ehrman actually ends "God's Problem" on an upbeat note, a kind of call to arms for people to be good--to themselves and to others..." -- San Diego Tribune "[An] entrapped invocation of a God who is not believed in, but is nonetheless despised, is what gives the book a rough power. ...[Ehrman] is a lucid expositor..." -- The New Yorker
