Friend of God - The inspiration of Abraham in an age of doubt - John C. Lennox

 

'Here we are faced with the problem of suffering and evil, which is probably the hardest problem that anyone faces, whether believer or unbeliever in God. We all are confronted with suffering, much of it caused by evil. It is this issue that drives many people to atheism, even though atheism does not remove the suffering and, indeed, may even make it worse since, by very definition, atheism removes all hope. There are no simplistic answers here, but the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah points the way to the suffering of the Lord Jesus on the cross, which is were many breaking hearts have found an enduring resting place'  John C. Lennox.
