This study is intended to challenge us to wrestle with difficult issues of faith. The Bible calls us to “test all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and we can do that because our faith is grounded in fact and well-reasoned thought. Difficult questions, such as, “Why God Allows Suffering,” can find deep, soul-satisfying answers in the pages of Scripture, resulting in confidence born out of eternal truth.

Good course on an important subject.
-
I believe the wording in the quiz questions I got wrong to be misleading. However, some important concerns and questions I've had were addressed in this course. Helpful and necessary for my studies and understanding! Also, one of the readings illuminated what could be a new understanding for me regarding what Jesus said on the cross. As far as I see it, that understanding is part of the basis of Christianity. The new perspective has Jesus speaking as fully human and as fully God.

This was very helpful for thinking about and discussing suffering. In current times, it is an issue uppermost on the minds of everyone and in our church, there are several 'seekers' and new believers who repeatedly struggle with why God allows evil. This has helped equip me with material and discussion points. Thank you.

Sitting across the globe not able to find this kind of in-depth Bible study around where I live, I am very grateful for the opportunity to grow in Christ and my understanding of the Bible through these courses.

Very interesting and stimulating our minds to understand why there’s sufferings in this world, and not to look at these sufferings only as negative ways but also in very positive ways to strength our hopes in God. This course is a must to read and listen for believers and non to understand the warnings that God placed in us all walks of life. Thank God for this course and God bless all of you who put these courses together. Thank you.
