So claims Emmanuel Katongole, an innovative theological voice from Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the midst of suffering, Katongole says, hope takes the form of \"arguing\" and \"wrestling\" with God. Such \u003ci\u003elament\u003c\/i\u003e is not merely a cry of pain--it is a way of mourning, protesting, and appealing to God.
