The former religion editor of the TLS Rupert Shortt writes an accessible contemporary reflection on the perennial question of human suffering.
How can a supposedly all-powerful and all-loving God permit evil and suffering on a grand scale?

The question has assailed people across cultures at least as far back as the biblical Book of Job. To sceptics, it forms clinching evidence that all talk of providence is childish -- or even a dangerous delusion. Writing clearly and concisely but avoiding simplistic answers, Rupert Shortt argues that belief in a divine Creator is intellectually robust, despite apparent signs to the contrary. Having cleared the ground, he goes on to show how a Christian understanding, in particular, points the way forward through terrain where raw feeling, intellectual inquiry and the toughest trials of the spirit often overlap.

The Hardest Problem takes its place alongside the work of C. S. Lewis as an essential guide to one of life's deepest dilemmas for a new generation of readers.

Rupert Shortt is a bestselling author and Research Associate at the Von Hügel Institute, University of Cambridge. He was religion editor of The Times Literary Supplement from 2000 to 2020, and is a former Visiting Fellow at Oxford University. The author of many books, Rupert has also contributed to a wide range of publications including the Guardian, Financial Times, Daily Telegraph, The Tablet and the Madrid-based Revista de Libros.
