Adult Sunday School Class
We will be studying “The Problem of Pain” by C.S. Lewis.
Class will begin on September 9th, meeting in the Westminster room at 9:00 am.
Here is information about the book:
In The Problem of Pain, C.S. Lewis, one of the most renowned Christian authors and thinkers, examines a universally applicable question within the human condition: “If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?” With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C.S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature.
