How Long O Lord?

Rob Hotz and John Anderson are co-teaching a class on grief and suffering in the AFC classes this year.  The first sessions in AFC3 have been superb.  Drawing from their own experiences with loss and affliction, they are able to engage the subject in a way that fully respects the difficulty of the questions we face in days of trouble.  Much of the material is their own.  They also draw from D. A. Carson’s book, How Long, O Lord? Reflections of Suffering and Evil. Carson has a special place in my heart, since he was one of my seminary professors back in the day.  He’s the kind of guy who, I don’t doubt, dreams in Greek.  But he also has the kind of clarity of heart and mind that reminds me a little of C. S. Lewis. 

Anyway, look for John and Rob’s class coming to an AFC near you.  According to the current schedule, AFC1 gets them next fall.  AFC2 in February.
