Homework Assignment: The Problem of Suffering & Evil

Listen to the audio message by Timothy Keller on my personal faculty web page and answer the following questions based on what you hear.

Type all answers out on a separate sheet of paper.


1. What argument against Christianity do some people use to ‘disprove’ the existence of the God of the Bible? (State the argument.)


2. What is the one way not to face suffering and evil?


3. What is wrong with this way? (Why does this way not work?)


4. What are the three ways to face suffering and evil? (What should we be looking “back to” and “ahead to” and “in to”? And why should we be looking “back” and “ahead” and “in” to these things?) Explain clearly what Keller means by each of these three ideas.
