Suffering is an undeniable aspect of life. In this book, renowned New Testament scholar Craig Keener delves into the perennial question of hardship, offering a biblical understanding of suffering and resilience. Balancing insightful exposition of Scripture with compelling stories of Christians worldwide who have faced trials for their faith, Keener reveals how believers can endure by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Acknowledging the reality of suffering, Keener provides guidance on how to respond to life's challenges and learn from the experiences of others. Rooted in a charismatic perspective yet broadly applicable, this work offers hope and meaning in the midst of suffering, reminding us of our ultimate hope in the new creation.
Professors, students, church leaders, and anyone seeking to understand suffering within the context of a Spirit-filled life will benefit from this illuminating study.
