North American ministers preach with an inadequate acknowledgement of the extent of human suffering. By skimming over this common experience of the human condition, they devalue the redemptive meaning and significance of the death and resurrection of Christ. In contrast, Holy Scripture -- and its central figure, Jesus -- never avoids the subject. The author of this thesis proposes a biblical and theological view of suffering, contending that preachers should not avoid the all-pervasiveness of this human condition, but rather assume its presence in their audience. In doing so, they can more faithfully preach the redemptive death of Jesus himself. Included in this work is a book proposal and outline for an ensuing/consequent book, Preaching Christ with our eyes open: proclamation through an apologetic of suffering. The author investigated relevant historic and current literature and drew on his own experience and the experience of other preachers through primary research. The book proposal and outline was sent to preaching ministers. Their responses are included.
