Join renowned philosopher and speaker Dr. Peter Kreeft for a lecture and discussion on the meaning of suffering. In today's world, the amount of suffering we read and hear about can be difficult to comprehend. In our own lives, too, we wonder how God could allow us to suffer for seemingly no good reason. Dr. Kreeft will discuss how philosophers have tried to make meaning out of suffering.
