Theology of the Book of Job: Part 2- Tough Theological Questions

Perhaps you have always thought of the story of Job as difficult
within the character of God. John Walton has shared that many
readers have a very skewed perception of the character of God in
Job. Most people look at this book and think that God is in a
betting match with Satan, ruins a righteous mans life for no
apparent (good) reason, and wipes out his family (also God
following people) to make a point to the adversary; all with no
explanation to man and in the end just gives a speech that we
aren’t worthy of God’s explanations. I think there is more to
this story. We serve a loving relational God who is both
completely sovereign and dynamic. Join us as we explore some of
the tough questions that we will be working through theologically
and see how the character of God in job aligns well with the rest
of scripture.
