Similar to novels that allow readers to choose their own "paths," Why Is There Suffering? invites readers to make choices that lead them on an exploration of theological possibilities. Readers will face multiple possibilities regarding suffering and its theological explanations and have to make choices about which one they find most plausible. Each decision will lead to further complexities and new choices, helping readers see how theological choices lead to certain conclusions. This book introduces the "theological" possibilities, both Christian and non-Christian, that readers can explore and wrestle with so they can make informed decisions about their beliefs.
