The Book of Job by Stephen Mitchell

4.0

Job reads like poetry which is exhausting for me but I did receive a lot out of this book. I read it with the Bible recap podcast and it was enlightening to have some additional thoughts and resources other than just myself. It’s main themes are the insufficiency of man’s wisdom and the eternal problem of unmerited suffering. The book shows Job’s faith and then his frankness with God. It also tears down the theory that bad things happen to bad people and good things happen to good people. God is beyond all of this.
