The Book of Job: An Exposition by Samuel Ridout.
The book of Job is unique. Believed by many to be the oldest in the Bible, it is a poetic dialogue between Job and his 'friends' through the most troubling and mysterious of circumstances. But we'll get to that later! Being arguably the oldest book in the Bible, it explores the most ancient and puzzling themes. Consider some of the following questions that emerge from the book of Job:
* Why do the righteous suffer?
* Why does God allow pain?
* How can a man be righteous before God?
* How does a man come to learn more about God?
* What relationship exists between God and Satan?
* Is Satan bound by the laws of God?
* Does man have hope beyond the grave?
All of these themes and more are explored in this book. And better still, these questions actually have answers! Not bad for the Bible's oldest book now is it? This study series is going to be a 'highlights of Job' series. In short, that means that I'm not going to comment on every verse as it is a long book with a lot of dialogue! But God has recorded it in length for its message is important and there are many hidden gems through this book which I'll try to uncover and bring to light
