Learning through suffering The educational value of suffering in the New Testament and in its milieu Charles H. Talbert - Minn. The Liturgical 1991 - 92tr. Paperback 22cm

From the various Biblical explanations of suffering, this volume chooses to focus on one: suffering sometimes possesses an educational value. It explores the differing versions of this view in Paul, James, 1 Peter, Hebrews and Luke-Acts, and sets these Christian perspectives against the backdrop of similar explanations in Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures.
