God's Problem- How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question--Why We Suffer

God's Problem

How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question--Why We Suffer:

In times of questioning and despair, people often quote the Bible to provide answers. Surprisingly, though, the Bible does not have one answer but many "answers" that often contradict one another. Consider these competing explanations for suffering put forth by various biblical writers:

• The prophets: suffering is a punishment for sin
• The book of Job, which offers two different answers: suffering is a test, and you will be rewarded later for passing it; and suffering is beyond comprehension, since we are just human beings and God, after all, is God
• Ecclesiastes: suffering is the nature of things, so just accept it
• All apocalyptic texts in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament: God will eventually make right all that is wrong with the world

For renowned Bible scholar Bart Ehrman, the question of why there is so much suffering in the world is more than a haunting thought. Ehrman's inability to reconcile the claims of faith with the facts of real life led the former pastor of the Princeton Baptist Church to reject Christianity.

In God's Problem, Ehrman discusses his personal anguish upon discovering the Bible's contradictory explanations for suffering and invites all people of faith—or no faith—to confront their deepest questions about how God engages the world and each of us.

• Review:: 'Can Ehrman Please Move On? I understand that Bart Ehrman still feels the need to deal with his own rage at his fundamentalist upbringing. But does he need to do it in print? This business of writing the same book over and over and over again is getting a little boring.
• Review:: 'Bart's Answers Bart is , without a doubt, the most knowlegable biblical scholar in the country (maybe world). Although the title is something of a put-off, I found his views reasonably argued and insightful. It was clarifying for me.
• Review:: 'The Challenge of Faith in a Modern World Having been a longtime reader of Ehrman's books, it has been intriguing to see the progressive development to the point that was the catalyst for this latest title. In many ways, this book was inevitable for Ehrman, but it brings to light an ongoing issue for modern-day believers who learn "too much" and start to realize that even the things which they were certain about (from a faith-based standpoint) do not stand up to what they've learned or are learning. I know, because it is the road I've found myself upon. In reading Ehrman's books, I could relate to the issues he brought to the fore throughout the book--but there were many things which (given the space) he did not address, nor needed to. Anyone that has been or is heading where Ehrman's at right now in his belief system knows what I'm talking about. In any event, Ehrman points to several contemporary events and places them in contrast with faith-based beliefs in Christianity where God's concerned, and then proceeds to explain why he personally cannot continue to hold to his former views, and I think he is well-grounded in his arguments of the issues that modern-day Christianity now faces, some 2,000 years since Jesus claimed that the Kingdom of God would arrive. Modern-day Christianity, on the other hand, continues to try to address the conflict between what Jesus and the apostles taught versus what actual events have transpired since then--without the arrival of that eagerly anticipated, soon-to-arrive Kingdom. Most of modern-day Christianity has taken to either spiritualizing the Kingdom to make Jesus' claims true, or they have changed "soon" to a future arrival, some indeterminate time into the future, and that we're anticipating the arrival any day now. The attempt to account for Jesus' predictions while still making them appear to be true have since given birth, for example, to amillennialism, post-millennialism, and pre-millennialism--all vying for the belief of you, the Christian. But Ehrman does make it clear that there is a danger involved in shifting the clear, unmistakable "soon" preached by early Christians, to some future, yet-to-be-witnessed event: apathy. After all, if one believes that the arrival of that Kingdom will resolve the problems that affect humans today, what is the motivation for us to do everything we can to try to solve those problems here and now? Is it really a display of lack of faith in God when we try to do that--as some Christian groups claim? In the end, the questions are going to linger--whether you read Ehrman's book or not. As Ehrman notes, he is not out to change anyone's mind or to undermine anyone's faith. Given that, it becomes obvious, then, that what he is attempting to do is to open dialogue on these problems that affect countless millions every passing day, every passing moment, every passing second.
• Review:: 'Bart's Problem Yet another book about suffering. This one talks about it forever and comes to the conclusion that, therefore, God does not exist (or 'probably' does not) Bart's not sure. The first 20 pages are an extensive list of "buzz" words--Moody Bible Institute, Wheaton Christian College (also Billy Graham's alma mater), Princeton Theological Seminary whose brilliant faculty included Bruce Metzger, the greatest textual scholar in the United States, Duke University and finally (at long last) announcing that he and his wife are brilliant intellectuals. He does not ask questions about God but, rather, demands answers. After reading almost all of C. S. Lewis, I have come to the conclusion that Bart is still in the sophomore stage where the student wants to tell everyone how to run the world. There is nothing new in this book that Lewis did not cover in great detail. His enlightening answers leave this book looking--well, sorry Bart, but just plain silly and about 1/8 inch deep. Bart's problem is partly that he is in a generation of people who want instant gratification in all things. He demands that God play the part of magician and that he deliver when Bart says he should. (Oh, on page 10 he tells us how brilliant he was while teaching at Rutgers) On page 13 he makes a joke about Jesus feeding the multitudes in the wilderness (people who had chosen to go off to hear him without a packed lunch). On page 15 he makes a statement that people talking about their suffering is "kind of like people talking about their toilet habits." Such generosity of spirit! He says that he would like to write a book about the Bible and suffering but does not feel that he has a broad sense of the world and a full understanding of life to justify it; he has, however, written more than twenty books. I could drag you through the entire book but to what end? After writing 20 books, I think Bart is hoping that someone will prove to him that he is wrong. Certainly he makes no great listing of all the marvelous and humanitarian endeavors he has made. The man needs answers and, obviously, doesn't have any.
• Review:: 'Powerful Work Ehrman must have felt a lot better after he finished writing this book. He writes with a powerful intensity on the question of whether there is a moral God, and the writing derives its power from watching him work it all out. His Big Ideas: the creator does not care; the Old testement God was petty(why could He torment Job? Because he can;reminds you of Bill Clinton's explanation of why Monica?); don't read Revelation out of context---it deals with Roman oppression, not a future forecast of the world's fate. Has good section on Ecclesiastes.

Write His Answer- A Bible Study for Christian Writers, 2nd Edition

Write His Answer

A Bible Study for Christian Writers, 2nd Edition:

• Review:: 'A Bible Study to Keep Writer's Grounded As a new author myself I found "Write His Answer: A Bible Study for Christian Writers" to be well written and grounded solidly in the Word. I use it daily in my quiet times, to keep me focused on my main objective in writing - that is to glorify the Lord. Marlene Bagnall has adeptly woven many aspects of writing and our call as Christians to write "His Answer", through Scripture and what writing should mean to the Christian author. A wonderful book that has made my writing experience an enjoyable and spiritual one.
• Review:: 'A wonderful Bible study for all Christian writers This is a wonderful Bible study for all Christian writers. I used it for a personal devotional book. It will encourage you to do more writing. Read and reviewed by Jimmie A. Kepler
• Review:: 'Miracle Grow for Writers This book has so touched my heart and helped me work through God's plan for my writing. Marlene has an incredible ability to put into words the perfect perspective and insight to draw out a writer's thoughts. I'm taking my time with this Bible study so that I can glean from it every ounce of spiritual nutrients I know I need. God obviously knew I would need it also because he laid it on my heart to buy the book. I encourage anyone who wants to be led by the Holy Spirit in their writing to buy the book. It's worth every penny and then some.
• Review:: 'Some good information. I enjoyed this devotional. The only thing I would change is the number of Bible references in the Appendix. It's too hard to read in a daily devotional way, when there are so many verses to reference. Other than that, it is really chalk full of information that helps in the writing process. I think you will really enjoy it!
• Review:: 'great , inspiring book I just finished reading this book for the third time and it continues to inspire me. I am amazed that the message in the chapters is just what I needed to hear that day. This book is a real encourager for all writers!
