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.
