Description
Primarily, How Long, O Lord? is a book of preventative medicine. One of the major causes of devastating grief and confusion among Christians is that our expectations are false. We do not give the subject of evil and suffering the thought it deserves until we ourselves are confronted with tragedy. If by that point our beliefs-not well thought out but deeply ingrained-are largely out of step with the God who has disclosed himself in the Bible and supremely in Jesus, then the pain from the show more personal tragedy may be multiplied many times over as we begin to question the very foundations of our faith. This clear and accessible treatment of key biblical themes related to human suffering and evil is written by one of the most respected evangelical biblical scholars alive today. Carson brings together a close, careful exposition of key biblical passages with helpful pastoral applications. show lessTags

如果神是全能又全善，祂怎麼能允許罪惡與苦難存在？如果祂有意志，卻無法制止這些苦難，祂便算不得全能；如果祂有能力，卻不願處理這些苦難，祂便算不得全善。罪惡與苦難的存在常常讓人質疑著──神在哪裡啊？
本書是一本預防性質的書，為要幫助基督徒思考罪惡與苦難的問題，從中找到與信條真實一致的信仰。作者以見招拆招的方式，釐清苦罪各種虛假面貌。章末附有問題討論，可供小組研討使用。

the first Carson book i liked!!! (but only my 2nd, ha!) this book was very well written. i liked each section, the depth, biblical wisdom, and examples. lots of Hebrews 12... and even a little Ps 90 :)
Excellent book for those who want to understand the true Christian life. Stands in stark contrast to the "health and wealth" theology of our day and presents a more biblical view of what it means to follow Christ, namely, suffering and self-denial.
Preparing Christians for the day when they experience trials and suffering; and
facing it with faith and hope because of an unshakeable trust in the providence of God.
