These he distinguishes from suffering after the fall, the tragic dimension of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnique is his structure: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecreation-suffering as becoming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e the fall--suffering as a burden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e redemption--conquest from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Hall succeeds in moving the reader beyond the customary way of stating the problem: \"How can undeserved suffering coexist with a just and almighty God?\" He also evaluates five popular, leading thinkers on suffering: Harold Kushner, C.S.
