Grief and faith — when loss challenges belief

Significant loss often arrives as a challenge to faith — if God is good and powerful, why did this happen? — and the theological answers that seemed adequate before the loss can feel hollow in its midst. Different traditions have grappled with this differently, from Job's demand that God answer to Buddhist nontheism's reframing of the question itself. This domain examines the collision of loss and belief with honesty, neither dismissing the doubt nor demanding faith that has not earned its ground.
