Similar to novels that allow readers to choose their own paths, Why Is There Suffering? by Bethany Sollereder invites readers to make choices that lead them on an exploration of theological possibilities about topics like:

• God's existence
• God's nature
• The nature of suffering
• Evil
• Pain
• The final destiny of humans and animals

Each decision will lead to further complexities and new choices, helping readers see how theological choices lead to certain conclusions. This book does not offer final answers. Instead, it introduces the theological possibilities, both Christian and non-Christian, that readers can explore and wrestle with so they can make informed decisions about their beliefs.
