THEOLOGY
In his account of his experiences as a doctor in German concentration camps during World War II (Man’s
Search for Meaning) the Jewish neurologist and psychiatrist Victor Frankl argues that how we respond to evil
and suffering provides a powerful opportunity for a person to express their unique identity. Importantly, it
also offers an opportunity to create from suffering a transformative and positive event, one that has the
potential “to turn fate into destiny.” To what degree does Jesus’ life and death conform to, or explicate,
Frankl‘s assertion? Moreover, how might Jesus’ life and death function as a template for our own approach to
how we might confront evil and suffering?
