Gavin Matthews considers how to speak about God in the context of a suffering world in which the presence of suffering is often presented as an objection to faith. As well as looking at some of the ways in which different world views respond to the suffering problem, we will also be considering some of the ways in which Christians have responded - and which Christian approaches have been more helpful.
