Job (The Two Horizons Old Testament Commentary)

4.1/5 ( ratings)

In this commentary Lindsay Wilson shows the book of Job to be
a coherent literary work that addresses this question: Is it possible
for humans to have genuine faith in God regardless of their
circumstances? Wilson argues that Job’s bold, sometimes
questioning cries to God are portrayed as legitimate expressions
of trust for a righteous person in adversity.

Through critical exegesis of the text, Wilson focuses on the
message of Job and its implications for practical ministry,
examining such key issues as suffering, justice, lament, and
faith. He also touches on various pertinent topics in Christian
ethics, including individual character, wealth, suicide, and the
environment. In a final section Wilson offers guidance on using
Job as a resource book for pastoral care and prayer, and he
discusses how to teach and preach from the book of Job.
