NIVAC 12: Job
The title character of the book of Job suffers terribly, but we should not
mistakenly think that this book is just about Job. According to insightful,
ground breaking scholar John Walton, Job is a book primarily about God.
Many think the enigmatic book merely restates the perennial questions that have
always troubled humanity in a fallen world. But our questions are too limited,
and we must learn to ask better questions-questions that do not necessarily
require easy answers, but better questions seeking more meaningful answers.
The book of Job answers our original questions obliquely, letting these answers
prompt deeper questions, and leading us to discover the wealth that the book
has to offer. Most people assume that the book of Job deals with the question
of why righteous people suffer-and miss the richest part of the story.
Instead, John Walton suggests that the book is about the nature of
righteousness, God righteousness, God's character--not the nature of our
suffering. As our questions take shape in this way, Walton avers, God will
transform how we think about his work in the world and about our responses in
times of suffering.
