Problem of Evil (Lesson 5)

Problem of Evil, Lesson 5 In this lesson we shift from addressing the logical problem of evil to the experiential or emotional problem of evil. What do we mean by the "experiential" problem of evil? Why does the experiential problem of evil call for a different apologetic than the logical problem? How does the account of Jesus and the death of His friend Lazarus teach us to address the experiential problem of evil? What two things do we see Jesus doing for Lazarus' sisters to minister to them in their great suffering? Why do we need to be very careful in the things we say to someone who is experiencing great evil or suffering? What are some of the things that we can safely say to someone who is suffering?
