Publisher's Synopsis
The book of Job in the Bible is totally fascinating - but difficult. It is deeply concerned with the question of wisdom - how does one live well? In particular, the book of Job deals with the questions that arise when disaster strikes. There are no clear answers to the questions it poses. Instead there are lengthy dialogues between Job and his three friends, then between him and a rather brash young fellow and finally with God Himself. We are left to think and puzzle over what is said and draw our own conclusions rather than treating it as an authoritative text that tells us things we should believe or do. Come! Let us walk together through this fascinating story.
