From Publishers Weekly

In this sometimes provocative, often pedantic memoir of his own attempts to answer the great theological question about the persistence of evil in the world, Ehrman, a UNC–Chapel Hill religion professor, refuses to accept the standard theological answers. Through close readings of every section of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, he discovers that the Bible offers numerous answers that are often contradictory. The prophets think God sends pain and suffering as a punishment for sin and also that human beings who oppress others create such misery; the writers who tell the Jesus story and the Joseph stories think God works through suffering to achieve redemptive purposes; the writers of Job view pain as God's test; and the writers of Job and Ecclesiastes conclude that we simply cannot know why we suffer. In the end, frustrated that the Bible offers such a range of opposing answers, Ehrman gives up on his Christian faith and fashions a peculiarly utilitarian solution to suffering and evil in the world: first, make this life as pleasing to ourselves as we can and then make it pleasing to others. Although Ehrman's readings of the biblical texts are instructive, he fails to convince readers that these are indeed God's problems, and he fails to advance the conversation any further than it's already come.

Review

"Ehrman, a prolific and popular author, has put his journey into words in a new book "God's Problem. ...Ehrman actually ends "God's Problem" on an upbeat note, a kind of call to arms for people to be good--to themselves and to others..." (San Diego Tribune )

"Ehrman's clarity, simplicity, and congeniality help make this a superb introduction to its subject." (Booklist )

"[An] entrapped invocation of a God who is not believed in, but is nonetheless despised, is what gives the book a rough power. .[Ehrman] is a lucid expositor." (The New Yorker )

5.0étoiles sur 5 An honest and insightful read, Jui 2 2008
Par B. Farkas "Truth Seeker" (Calgary) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
There are reasons why one should respect Dr. Ehrman's writings not the least of which are that he spent a great deal of his life as a fundamentalist christian and spent over 30 years learning ancient and dead languages so that he could get to the root of what 'God's' words supposedly were in the earliest manuscripts of the bible that we have.

This book is incredibly insightful and examines the burning questions that most people of faith gloss over. Sure, as a previous reviewer said, perhaps we suffer so that we can 'grow' as people, but Erhman looks far beyond the kind of suffering those of us in the west have to endure when he talks of suffering in his book.

I must concur with the other reviewer, did the gentleman from Quebec even READ the book? He couldn't have to have made such an uninformed and trite statement. Shame on you sir for not reading a book you are reviewing.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Does the Bible Confront the Problem of Suffering?, Janv. 19 2009
Par John Howard Reid (Wyong, NSW Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Unlike Professor Ehrman, I believe the Bible does at least partly answer the problem of suffering. All the answers cited by Ehrman are brought together in "The Visions of Ezra": Suffering as a punishment for sin; as a test; as beyond human comprehension; as simply part of the nature of things; and as a wrong that God will eventually make right. Ezra directly confronts God and His Holy Spirit with the problem of suffering. "Why are men destined for a life of suffering?" he cries out. "And then not even know why they should suffer?" To cut a long story short -- see my Bible Wisdom for Modern Times: Selections from the Orthodox Old Testament for the full account -- and omitting a wonderful parable about the trees of the forest who wanted to make war on the sea, God replies that Ezra should consider Adam who destined himself for a life of suffering because of "a single seed of evil sown by the serpent. And what a plentiful crop of wickedness that one seed has yielded! But if a single seed of evil can produce such a rich harvest of wickedness, how much more bountiful a harvest will innumerable seeds of goodness bring?"
