The older I get, the more attuned I become to hidden suffering—the griefs we tuck away and carry silently; the sorrows we share only with the rarest confidant; or, worse, the pain we bear alone, shedding tears only God can see. It may be the unrelenting ache of a chronic illness that saps our strength and resolve. Or the strain of a relationship poisoned by bitterness, the long fallout of selfish choices still reverberating years later, or fresh wounds from someone we trusted.

A century ago, archaeologists digging through ancient ruins in Egypt uncovered a tattered scrap of papyrus. On it were the remains of a hymn dating to the mid-200s—complete with lyrics and musical notation! For decades, it remained sealed away in a climate-controlled vault at Oxford University. Until John Dickson came across it. John is a musician and theologian from Australia, a friend whose works have often proved helpful to me, including his podcast Undeceptions.

Note from Randy: When I receive critical comments online or in response to my books, and when someone talks to me personally about their disagreements, I ask God to point out to me any truth they may contain. People are certainly correct that I’m very flawed. No one is more aware of this than I am. Over the years, I have agreed with many critics and have made numerous changes in my books and articles (and my life) as a result.

Longtime readers of my column know I owe a debt to G. K. Chesterton, the author I discovered by way of C. S. Lewis 15 years ago and whom I immediately sensed would become a lifelong friend and teacher. My annotated guide to his classic work of apologetics, Orthodoxy, is a small token of my gratitude, offered in hopes that others might benefit from the man’s brilliance.

Started watching this week and found the series pretty impressive in terms of story and artistry. There's a lot of license taken with the historical record, as this article lays out. https://t.co/xTTshmIqp7
"No slick answer will solve the emotional difficulty of the problem of evil. But inviting someone to consider an additional problem, the problem of goodness, can validate a small spark of faith." - @Seth_Troutt https://t.co/m2Psb5xb4z
My book The Thrill of Orthodoxy is half-price on audio right now. (I'm the one reading the book on the recording.) https://t.co/uJoUSsG22r
