The Problem of Pain

The Problem of Pain is a book (ISBN 0060652969) by C. S. Lewis. In it he seeks to provide a Christian response to intellectual questions about suffering. The book is a theodicy, an attempt by one Christian layman to reconcile orthodox Christian belief in a loving and omnipotent God with the fact that people suffer, and is not intended to provide comfort to those actually suffering.
