SKU: 978-1950970292
Product Details
By Martin Cyril D'Arcy, S.J.
Pain and Providence is, in form, a transcript of an intellectual society meeting to discuss the problem of evil and the existence of God; in spirit, it is a précis of the diverse viewpoints that men and women hold in regard to whether a good and loving God can allow, let alone actively will, the experience of pain and suffering. An excellent companion piece to C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain in apologetics and G. K. Chesterton’s Man Who Was Thursday in literature, Pain and Providence is a captivating summation of Catholic teaching on evil and the existence of the God who is Love.
The providence of God is in its way as complicated as the eye and we go meddling with it in our desire to make a new universe with all we dislike left out and as a result, if we were allowed our way, there would be no universe at all. (Martin Cyril D’Arcy, S.J.)
Martin Cyril D’Arcy, S.J. (1888–1976) was a Roman Catholic priest of the Society of Jesus. A philosopher and professor, D’Arcy taught at Oxford University and Cornell University, Georgetown University and Gonzaga University, and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University.

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
