This podcast covers one of the important and helpful theological books that C S Lewis wrote, entitled “The Problem of Pain”. It was written to answer the intellectual problem raised by suffering and pain in world created by a good, all-powerful God. As Lewis puts it
If God were good, He would make His creatures perfectly happy. If He were almighty, He would be able to do what he wished. But, obviously, the creatures are not happy. Therefore God lacks either goodness, or power, or both.
He goes on to say that if the common means of “almighty” and “good” are the best or the only meanings that can be assigned to these words, then the problem is unsolvable. Therefore, he first addresses the meaning of almighty and how it should be understood and then the meaning of “good” when applied to God. Jack (Lewis went by the nickname of Jack) then discusses the nature of a world where persons with free will can make choices and the functions of pain in such a world. He includes important discussions of the pains of animals and heaven and hell in this book. As you can tell, it is well worth a read.
