The Answer to Suffering Is Personal

The answer to suffering cannot just be an abstract idea, because this isn't an abstract issue; it's a personal issue. It requires a personal response. It's not a bunch of words, it's the Word. It's not a tightly woven philosophical argument; it's a person. The person. The answer must be someone, not just something, because the issue involves someone—God, where are you?"

—Peter J. Kreeft, Ph.D., in an interview with Lee Strobel
