Description

Peter Cotterell argues against the belief that suffering is willed by God or caused by God. His search for answers to human suffering leads to some challenging conclusions: God does not shelter Christians from suffering and God is not "on the throne": the task of the Christian and the task of the church is to heal the suffering and restore God's sovereignty.
