Abstract
That people suffer is a recognized fact of life. The causes of suffering-natural calamity, man's inhumanity to man, disease, and self-abuse are recognized to be contributing factors but do not answer mankind's basic difficulty with suffering - “Who? Me?” Observable facts about suffering and ways to cope with suffering are delineated. The story of Job becomes primary illustrative material to help work toward a theology of suffering.
