The Idea of an Essay, Volume 4

Analysis & Response 101 God is not good is false even when grief makes it seem plausible. Yet, questioning God is not wrong. These three new concepts, brought into light by Lewis, are difficult to accept. But once they are acknowledged, the process of sanctification is made clearer to the blind mourner. When we cannot see what is good through the pain of loss, God is the ultimate good. Only His path can lead us to sanctification. And if His path brings us through the valley of grief, He is still desirable above all else. Good grief! Is this true? Works Cited Konigburg, Ruth Davis. The Truth About Grief.
