Course Description

This course reflects theologically on questions about suffering and hope by engaging with how Scripture and theology acknowledge human suffering, and looks at hope from biblical, theological, anthropological and relational perspectives. It also considers the God who stands with humans at the level of their despair, yet still offers hope. The course is relevant both to those who suffer and to those who, in a range of vocational contexts, stand in solidarity with those who suffer.
