Few books in the Bible are more disorienting and demanding than
the book of Job. This lecture will consider what this collection
of ancient Hebrew lament poetry has to offer those of us wanting
to wrestle through the ways of God in a world characterized by so
much needless suffering. For those unfamiliar with the book of
Job, consider watching the Bible Project's summary video as well
as reading chapters 1-3 and 38-42 to gain some familiarity with
this book before listening.
