520 |a In this article, I put John Calvin and George Herbert in conversation on the theological question of God's role in human suffering. For Calvin, God's providence implies that God actively wills all things that occur, including suffering, and that consolation comes from this acknowledgement. Despite agreement with Calvin in some respects, I argue that Herbert amends Calvin at two crucial points: the permissive will of God and the inexplicability of suffering. By analyzing two sets of poems, I hope to show that Herbert's poetry offers a more nuanced, compelling, and pastorally sensitive account of God's role in suffering.
