Love, Pain, Grief, and Joy: Vol. 2, The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis
“We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to.” Dr. Jerry Root, scholar and close friend of the podcast, is back again for our second installment of “Love, Pain, and Grief.” This week hosts Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Dr. Root and and Producer Aaron Hill explore The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis. Because all humans wrestle with questions about human and animal pain, suffering, evil, natural disasters, hell, heaven, and the nature of God, Lewis’s immensely profound and quotable book will resonate with atheists, agnostics, and even exvangelicals deconstructing their faith.

Love, Pain, Grief, and Joy: Vol. 3, The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis
“To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth; to enter hell, is to be banished from humanity.” This week, in our third installment of “Love, Pain, and Grief,” we continue our discussion of The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis with Dr. Jerry Root. Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing, along with Dr. Root and and Producer Aaron Hill explore questions such as: Why does Hell exist? Who will end up there and why? Is it fair or compassionate to doom people to Hell? What will heaven be like? And do all dogs go to heaven? Or only the dogs of believers?
