Seeking Answers to Life’s Toughest Questions
When tragedy strikes, it’s natural to wonder if God is truly just and good. The Holocaust, in particular, raises haunting questions about the nature of evil and God’s role in it. In a powerful video, Collin Hansen offers a message of hope and encouragement to those struggling to reconcile their faith with the existence of suffering.
Exploring the Problem of Evil
TGC Hard Questions, a series of concise booklets, tackles the toughest challenges to Christian faith. These resources provide valuable tools for the church, addressing deep-seated concerns about community, biblical ethics, and confessional faith. Hansen’s booklet, in particular, delves into the stories of Job, Jesus, and the Jewish people during the Holocaust, offering a profound exploration of God’s character.
A Suffering Servant Who Makes All Things New
Ideal for both skeptics and Christians seeking to support others in their pain, this booklet reminds us that God speaks through the cries of his people, offering the gift of his Son – a suffering servant who brings redemption and restoration. As Andrew Wilson, Teaching Pastor at King’s Church London, notes, “The problem of evil is the biggest challenge to Christian faith in every generation. Collin Hansen’s short, wise, and thoughtful book is a superb resource for thinking deeply about it and responding with compassion and clarity.”
