Throughout history, humanity has assumed that if God indeed was good and merciful, he would eradicate pain. In The Problem of Pain (1940), C.S. Lewis aims to disprove this belief and explain that evil, wars, and hunger do not refute the existence of a good, loving God.

The Problem of Pain is a mix of religion, wisdom, spirituality, and compassion. It tackles arguments most commonly used to deny the presence of God and broadly compares the worldly understanding of goodness to the divine one. Some of the major topics it discusses include suffering, sinning, heaven, agony, omnipotence, and redemption.
