Job Overview (Part 1)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In "Job Overview (Part 1)", Steve Gregg provides insights into the book of Job, a poetic and wisdom literature book of the Old Testament. The book grapples with the theological question of why suffering exists in a world believed to be created by a benevolent God. Job's sufferings, according to Gregg, were not punishment for his supposed wrongdoings but a test of his faith and integrity by God and Satan. The book's wisdom literature, including poetry and repetition, challenges the prevailing wisdom of Job’s friends that suffering always results from wrongdoing.
