How Could a Good God Allow Suffering?

Have a listen to D. A. Carson's message on suffering for solid biblical foundations, wisdom, and hope for the coming day of your pain. Carson is one of those rare scholars with pastoral sensitivities, and so he's worth reading and hearing above most. His book on suffering, How Long, O Lord: Reflections on Suffering and Evil, should be compulsory reading in our churches. I devoured that book years ago and have never regretted spending so much time in it.
