Embodied Hope - A Theological Meditation on Pain and Suffering

Kelly M. Kapic meditates on how our suffering-particularly our physical suffering-relates to the Christian faith. This is not a theodicy or a book of easy answers. It is an invitation to reshape our understanding of suffering into the image of Jesus. What we discover is that in Christ and through his church, God displays his deep love and provision for his people.
