Job

---

The title character of the book of Job suffers terribly- but we should not mistakenly think that this book is just about Job. It is about all of us- and ultimately about God.Many have thought that the book simply restates the perennial questions that plague humankind in a world full of suffering. But often our questions are too limited- and we must learn to ask better questions so that we might find more significant answers. The book of Job answers our original questions obliquely- letting these answers prompt deeper questions- and leading us to discover the wealth that the book has to offer.Most people assume that the book of Job deals with the question of why righteous people suffer. Instead- John Walton suggests that the book is about the nature of righteousness- not the nature of suffering. As we learn to deepen our questions- God will transform how we think about his work in the world and about our responses in times of suffering.
