Suffering confuses Christians. It plagues them with doubt about God's care for them. Like Jesus' disciples, they cry, "Don't You care?" Their tendency is resignation, knowing suffering belongs to a fallen world.

But man was not created to live in a fallen world. It is why we feel the pressure when trials challenge us. Job felt the pressure. But to understand the message in Job, we need to read his book in the context of the whole Bible.

In situ is a term used in archaeology that means an artifact was found in its original place. This helps archaeologists glean relevant facts about its history. If it was lifted from its place and discovered later on the black market, archaeologists cannot verify its history and its story is a mystery.

The same is true for the book of Job. Studying it apart from the context of the entire Bible will lead you into error, and you'll miss the story God wanted you to know.

Job: Beyond What You've Been Taught, teaches you Job's religious and historical setting to give you a more complete picture of the testimony so many Christians identify with. Surprisingly, it is not the testimony they think it is. The good news, however, is they are not Job.
