The problem with pain by cs lewis5/23/2023 ![]() My main query with respect to Lewis’s argument in his first chapter is that there are many intellectual reasons for holding to the truth of Jesus’ claims, whereas there seems to be more than a little liberal British Bultmannian School Neo-Kantian existentialism in Lewis’s appeals to the supposedly undergirding roles of universal experiences of the numinous and of the moral impulse. The problem of pain, as an intellectual problem, simply emerges as the problem of how to understand the co-existence of these two historical realities intellectually. Suffering is a historical fact, and yet belief in a good all-powerful God is also a historical fact. ![]() I agree with Lewis’s basic argument that the problem of pain emerges historically, and not philosophically. ![]() Guest post by theologian Dr Rob Knowles on The Problem of Pain by C. ![]()
