Why Psalm 88 is Better Than Just Screaming in Pain

Friday Thoughts on suffering and why Psalm 88 is better than screaming into the void.

This video is a longer version of a reflection I write each Friday for a friend's parish devotional email.  

This week I talk about our various approaches to our experience of suffering (I'm a little biased, as I say at the end, because I watched my wife die slowly of cancer and it has given me some time to think about this issue).

Other thinkers drawn on:

Paul Anleitner and his videos on theodicy.

N.T. Wright and his  references to the Psalms of Lamentation in his God and the Pandemic Book.

Please leave a comment if this made you think and consider subscribing to my YouTube channel if you would like to hear more.  

Be well,
