The Problem Of Suffering In The Old Testament (1904)

The Problem of Suffering in the Old Testament is a book written by Arthur Samuel Peake in 1904. The book explores the theme of suffering in the Old Testament and attempts to provide an explanation for why God allows suffering to exist. Peake examines various examples of suffering in the Old Testament, including the suffering of Job, the Israelites in Egypt, and the Babylonian exile. Peake argues that suffering is a necessary part of the human experience and that it serves a purpose in our spiritual development. He suggests that suffering can lead to a deeper understanding of God and can help us to become better people. The book also explores the concept of divine justice and how it relates to suffering. Peake suggests that God's justice is not always immediate or obvious, but that it is ultimately fair and just. Overall, The Problem of Suffering in the Old Testament is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of a difficult and complex topic. It provides a valuable perspective on the role of suffering in our lives and in our relationship with God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
