the-answer-to-suffering-is-presence-not-explanation

# The answer to suffering is presence, not explanation Job receives no theodicy. He asks why, and God showed up; the answer to suffering is a presence, not an explanation. The better question is therefore not "why is this happening" but "where is Jesus in this". Job may be the myth of our era precisely because we keep demanding the explanation and missing the presence.
