John C. L. Gibson explores the profound and timeless story of Job, urging readers to confront the book's challenges and find meaning and peace. One of the most challenging books of the Bible, Job is a literary work of great majesty and power. In this commentary, John C. L. Gibson helps contemporary readers explore the timeless story of the afflicted Job and its meaning for today. Gibson asks that we make every effort to do what the first readers were supposed to do, that is, "Let this unsophisticated story [chapters 1-2] set the scene for the sophisticated debate to follow… No book before or since has so pitilessly confronted [human beings] with the claims of the One in whom alone their soiled and burdened lives can find meaning and peace. To read and study the Book of Job is to grow up in the faith with a vengeance; and that is worth all the theology in the world.
