Author Description

The book of Job, celebrated as a classic of world literature and one of the glories of the Bible, can often be puzzling and frustrating: puzzling for its dialogue form and off-putting because of the many questions it leaves unanswered. This inviting SkyLight Illuminations edition, with probing facing-page commentary, explores Job s daring challenges to God s goodness, questions about the basic fairness of existence, and compelling descriptions of the glories of the created world and the bitter sorrows of human life. It invites you to enter into Job s dialogue and stimulates thoughtful consideration of life s most perplexing questions.
