This study is intended to challenge us to wrestle with difficult issues of faith. The Bible calls us to “test all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and we can do that because our faith is grounded in fact and well-reasoned thought. Difficult questions, such as, “Why God Allows Suffering,” can find deep, soul-satisfying answers in the pages of Scripture, resulting in confidence born out of eternal truth.
This course is part of our Legacy Series of courses from renowned scholars over several decades.

This course was perhaps the best of the 4 courses I’ve taken at Our Daily Bread University thus far, although others have been good. I greatly enjoyed the class time lectures, which include testimonies, of sort. The reading material also was exceptionally valuable learning material.

So thankful that was enrolled in this course during the worst pandemic of my lifetime, thus far. I was moved by the readings, Scriptures, and testimonies of the contributing authors. I will share my reflections with family and friends as a means of witness to the mercies, grace, and goodness of God as He has proven Himself to me.
PernelopeVery fun and educational!! Very good!!!
MajorSitting across the globe not able to find this kind of in-depth Bible study around where I live, I am very grateful for the opportunity to grow in Christ and my understanding of the Bible through these classes. In a life situation that confronts me very much with the question about where God is in all of humankind’s suffering, this course provided many wonderful answers I hope through the grace of God to pass on to those in need.
JaneThis course is helping me to see how God uses pain for good in my life. It’s also showing me how people think and how they think when in a lot of I confessed pain. It’s been a blessing to be reminded of how deep, wide, and high the Love of God is.
EvonThis course was very very useful in providing answers as everyone will wrestle with some form of pain and suffering in this life.
DannyOne of my favorite courses. The illustrations given in the videos are priceless.
DonaldI loved this very much and it helped me to say the words very clearly in why God allows suffering.
ReginaThis course has caused me to seek to deal with current health issues in more positive ways by handing them over to God rather than trying to figure things out for myself.
DianaI learned more about God’s compassion and the power of Christ’s suffering. I also enjoyed the testimonies about God’s grace and strength through suffering.
BrianVery interesting and stimulating our minds to understand why there’s sufferings in this world, and not to look at these sufferings only as negative ways but also in very positive ways to strength our hopes in God. This course is a must to read and listen for believers and non to understand the warnings that God placed in us all walks of life. Thank God for this course and God bless all of you who put these courses together. Thank you.
