These six essays by contemporary theologians analyze the complex relationship between religion and suffering. Themes covered include: philosophy's failure to treat suffering seriously; Martin Buber's celebrated interpretations of scriptural suffering; suffering in Kristevan psychoanalysis; the practice of ritualistic home-birth; and God's primal suffering in the Kabbalistic tradition.
