The Suffering of Love

Description

“Christ’s Descent into the Hell of Human Hopelessness”

The Christian meaning of human suffering goes way beyond answering the skeptics’ question, “How could a loving God permit suffering?” Christ entered into human suffering not to take it away but to transform it into an act of love and of salvation. Regis Martin explores Christian, Jewish and even secular sources as he examines this great mystery. The author uses the Holocaust as an illustration of the worse evil that human beings can face, and the worse evil humans can inflict on each other. Yet, this great evil was transformed into an act of love by such great martyrs as Edith Stein and Maximilian Kolbe. Enter into the mystery of human suffering with Regis Martin and transform the way you experience your own suffering in this life.
