[pol-soc-relig] The End of Suffering Finding Purpose in Pain by Scott Cairns | 2.05 MB
Title: End of Suffering
Author: Scott Cairns
Description:
"The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering, but a supernatural use for it." -Simone Weil
"Like most people I, too, have been blindsided by personal grief now and again over the years. And I have an increasingly keen sense that, wherever I am, someone nearby is suffering now. For that reason, I lately have settled in to mull the matter over, gathering my troubled wits to undertake a difficult essay, more like what we used to call an assay, really-an earnest inquiry. I am thinking of it just now as a study in suffering, by which I hope to find some sense in affliction, hoping-just as I have come to hope about experience in general-to make something of it." -from the book
Is there meaning in our afflictions? With the thoughtfulness of a pilgrim and the prose of a poet, Scott Cairns takes us on a soul-baring journey through "the puzzlement of our afflictions."...
