About the Course
Job is a good and righteous man. God is just. Yet, Job suffers terribly. Why?
That’s the perennial question, isn’t it? If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, and if God is a just and loving god, how could he allow good and innocent people to suffer? Any parent who loses a child; any husband or wife who loses a spouse in a senseless, violent traffic accident; any friend who watches a loved one waste away with a horrible illness, must ask: Why? And that’s the question Job poses . . . over and over again. All three of Job’s friends address it: Eliphaz, with the voice of experience; Bildad, with the voice of tradition; and Zophar, with the voice of religion. All three friends agree that suffering comes from God, that God is just; therefore, Job must be guilty. Yet, Job insists that he is innocent; therefore, God must be unjust. None take the next step in the syllogism: suffering comes from God; God is just; Job is innocent. That alternative is unthinkable.
And that alternative is exactly what we’ll explore in this magnificent, though deeply troubling, book!
