God, Pandemics, and the Holocaust

Theology

“Most of us have had questions around God’s omnipotence and human suffering. The COVID-19 epidemic and the Holocaust certainly raised the profile of those questions. Cliff Cain offers a helpful way to consider the options for responding thoughtfully and theologically to human suffering during COVID-19 and previous pandemics and during genocides. Covering biblical and historical theological responses to mass human suffering, Cain leads readers to a place where they can hold in tension God’s love and the world we live in. Wherever you find yourself on this spectrum of belief, Cliff Cain’s work offers a chance to sharpen your perspective and deepen your appreciation for God’s love for this world.”

The Sermon on the Mount

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“If the Sermon on the Mount is the life program of the Christian and the Beatitudes our credentials, Chacour’s faithfulness as a disciple of Christ gives him ample room to challenge his readers and reflect on the Sermon on the Mount as a practice of daily living. Readers will find themselves newly invited to live more and more into the call of Jesus through his most central teaching and Chacour’s witness as ‘living stone.’”
