The contributors to
Suffering and the Sovereignty of God are well-qualified to
speak about suffering not only because of their academic
credentials or their position in the evangelical community. John
Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, and the other authors
speak of the evidence of God’s sovereignty because they, too,
write from a place of suffering. From the throes of paralysis,
pain, death and cancer, they ask, “How does God’s sovereignty
relate to human suffering?” These men and women are living and
writing in the midst of both the suffering and the sovereignty.
This in-depth volume explores the many categories of God’s
sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. The contributors tackle
difficult applications of God’s sovereignty over suffering in
areas including:
- Racism and ethnicity
- Sin
- Missions and evangelism
- The life and death of Christ
Suffering and the Sovereignty of God offers God’s
complete control as the believer’s source of confidence, comfort,
and sustaining fellowship in every aspect of suffering.
