The Holocaust  in particular  because of the scope of its ruthlessness  has raised the question for modern man: \"What kind of God allows the horrible and systematic murder of so many innocent people?\" Quoting widely from Christian  Jewish and secular sources  Regis Martin makes an unflinching examination of this universal question on the meaning of suffering. By meditating on Christs passion  death and descent into Hell  he asks us to consider anew the God who overcomes evil by plunging himself into the depths of human misery. The author presents the arguments of those who say that because of the Holocaust  and other such numerous horrors in history  all human discourse is suspended  including that which presumes the existence of a good and all-powerful God. He responds with a penetrating discussion of the deeper meaning of Christs life  passion  death and resurrection in relation to human suffering  and then uses the examples of modern martyrs of the Holocaust such as Edith Stein and Maximilian Kolbe to show the meaning of the sacrifice of their lives and so many others in the larger context of Christs self-emptying for the sake of others\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986169655349,"sku":"ByrdShop_1586171054","price":40.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781586171056.jpg?v=1770890288","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-suffering-of-love-christs-descent-into-the-hell-of-human-hopelessness","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
