Here is a video of a lecture Bart Ehrman discussing what the Bible says about human suffering. Follows is the video description from YouTube.

"Biblical Insights into the Problem of Suffering"

Bart D. Ehrman
Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes biblical scholar Bart Ehrman for a discussion of his intellectual odyssey with a focus on how the Bible explains the problem of human suffering. The conversation includes a discussion of the challenges of biblical interpretation when confronting this age old problem of the human condition. Included are topics such as the contribution of the prophets, a comparison of the old and new testaments, the book of Job, and the emergence of apocalyptic writers.

After listening to the lecture, I wonder if Ehrman understood scripture the same way before He gave up being a Christian. For example I have heard others take his viewpoint on the Book of Job, Daniel, and Ecclesiastes. Not all scholars agree with Ehrman. Concerning Job, God did not make a wager with the Devil. Instead of answering him point-by-point, I enjoyed Dr. James White's rebuttal of Ehrman's book discussing human suffering in particular and Ehrman's conclusions in general.
