The book of Job is a literary masterpiece, handling critical questions of justice and faith with some of the most beautiful poetry in the Bible. Tender in some parts and brutal in others, the dialogue between Job and his conversation partners transcends religion and challenges cliches to speak to the heart of the human condition. Sadly this resource is often overlooked in favour of the story that frames the poem, but this study proposes a new approach to the book of Job. With pastoral sensitivity and theological awareness, this short study unpacks the complexities of Job's situation and offers fresh perspectives on ancient wisdom. Taking time to engage with the arguments and reflect on their implications, this text holds an abundance of insights to pastors and believers from all walks of life.

The Understanding the Bible series is a powerful set of short commentaries that summarise key biblical elements and equip Christian leaders with practical information. Jam-packed with insights from biblical scholarship and pastoral wisdom, each book allows pastors and students of the Bible to grow in their understanding of Jesus and His call to courageous discipleship.
