a conversation on suffering
Here are a few links to a great conversation on suffering. The dialog partners are Bart Erhman and N.T. Wright. Erhman is a biblical scholar and former Christian who is making his living these days teaching and writing books which try to debunk or counter Christian faith. Wright is a British scholar and one of the leading voices of New Testament scholarship today. You can catch up to the conversation with the following links.
Bart Ehrman: How the Problem of Pain Ruined My Faith
N.T. Wright: God’s Plan to Rescue Us
Bart Ehrman: What About the Actual Suffering?
N.T. Wright: What it Looks Like When God Runs the World
It may raise more questions than it answers for you, but it is an important conversation and it would be hard to find two better people on whom to eavesdrop.
