Kathleen M O'Connor: Book of Job, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Why does God allow human suffering? For thousands of years, the profoundly moving story of Job has allowed people of faith to reflect on that question. Job is a righteous man, stripped of all he holds dear, who engages in a powerful dialogue with his friends on the nature and cause of suffering. Job's friends struggle to justify Job's suffering, determined to find fault with Job rather than God. Job counters their arguments and then turns his attention to God in a desperate plea for justice. When God's answer comes from the whirlwind, it is not what we expect. Biblical scholar Kathleen O'Connor serves as an insightful guide in this exploration of innocent suffering, divine silence, and the human quest for understanding. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included. 6 lessons.
