Synopsis

The Book of Job is the most revolutionary work in the Bible. Job is the archetypal good person who struggles to understand why God causes bad things to happen to him. The Book of Job confronts humanity's great dilemma: How do we reconcile belief in a benevolent God with the existence of innocent suffering? This provocative ethical reading of the text highlights Job as a hero of integrity who dares to speak truth to divine power.The vast majority of works on the Book of Job have been written from an orthodox religious perspective, defending God. In contrast, Colaiaco's analysis reveals the radical nature of the Book of Job, where God is neither good nor just. Job emerges as a noble character, steadfast in defending his integrity, courageously wrestling with God.
