![]() This love characterizes everything God does in relation to humanity and creation, including suffering, as counterintuitive as that might seem. The Love of GodĪs a counterbalance to the weight of human suffering, Lewis draws upon the doctrine of God's overwhelming love for humanity. The theme of suffering is especially notable in Chapters 6 and 7, which directly deal with the problem of human pain, although it's evident in 3 (Divine Omnipotence), 4 (Human Wickedness), 5 ( The Fall of Man), 8 (Hell), and 9 (Animal Pain) as well. Lewis methodically investigates the nature of earthly suffering, attempting to show it in a different light than one might originally conceive of it. This book is prompted by the following common question: if God is both all-good and all-powerful, why is there suffering in the world? As such, The Problem of Pain does not shy away from the theme of suffering it's even in the title.
