No book of the Old Testament has had more varied interpretations than the book of Job. Job helps us deal with suffering, but there are other, even deeper, truths that the book reveals. We will explore the history of interpretation of the book of Job, as well as the most popular modern views on the text. We will consider the book in the wider context of biblical wisdom literature and the relationship between Job’s suffering and Christian suffering mentioned in the book of Romans. Teacher: Mark Bilger.
