Suffering is a universal phenomenon. Since Ancient Greece, humanity has faced situations of pain, adversity and mourning and has questioned itself about the relationship between evil and God s action in the world. Philosophy and theology attempt to account for the incompatibility between divine attributes and the existence of evil until nowadays. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has reignited debates about God and human suffering, spurring the Church to position itself in a society beset by losses and sequelae. Thus, the present study focuses on the current Brazilian Baptist context, analyzing the theological justifications for suffering in local communities and their impacts on ecclesial faith and practice. In this sense, through a bibliographic review, this work concisely approaches the transformations in the conceptions of suffering from the Protestant Reformation, especially in Luther; the genesis and configurations of the Baptist church in Brazil; theological perspectives in the current scenario, verifying the influences of Neopentecostal and Calvinist doctrines in the denomination. Finally, in-depth research is carried out with pastors and members of different Baptist churches to analyze their resignifications of suffering and its implications in their religious experiences. The study highlights the plural theological configuration of the Baptist church, which is a consequence of the autonomy of local churches and of the fact that this denomination is oriented by principles, not by a specific doctrine. Such plurality is also manifested in the diversity of resignifications for suffering in the congregations. Despite this, Baptists show a sense of a unity in trusting God even in adversity and in their empathy for those who suffer.
