One of the most prominent men in the entire Bible is Job. He is listed with such great men as Daniel and Noah as one possessing personal righteousness (Ezek. 14:14, 20). Thus, the Book of Job starts out with, "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." It would be Job's personal righteousness that will make him the target of the one person that hates all things good, Satan, the adversary of God. It is also Job's righteousness that will prove to be a personal struggle for Job. For a right holiness and right walk carries with it the possibility of pride and an overestimation of one's self-worth in the sight of God. Job's so-called "friends" will prove to be nothing more than miserable comforters who while dancing around the truth are never able to lend any advice to comfort Job's pains. It will be God that will set them all straight with wisdom from above; the wisdom that only God can bring, and with wisdom comes comfort and restoration. James asks, "Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy" (James 5:11). The end of the LORD is seen in the Book of Job. It is a lesson for all ages and generations. So, let us travel to the land of Uz and sit at the feet of Job, a man that fears God and eschews evil.

Life can be hard, and sometimes it seems like God doesn't even care. When faced with difficult trials, many people have resonated with the book of Job—the story of a man who lost nearly everything, seemingly abandoned by God. In this thorough and accessible commentary, Christopher Ash helps us glean encouragement from God's Word by directing our attention to the final explanation and ultimate resolution of Job's story: the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Intended to equip pastors to preach Job's important message, this commentary highlights God's grace and wisdom in the midst of redemptive suffering. Taking a staggeringly honest look at our broken world and the trials that we often face, Ash helps us see God's sovereign purposes for adversity and the wonderful hope that Christians have in Christ. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

Far from a myth or fable, the majestic Book of Job stands forever as a genuine historical account of a man assaulted by the accuser, Satan, and redeemed by a loving God. The author asserts further that Job's ancient account (possibly the oldest book in the Bible, apart from Genesis) is scientifically reliable, touching on aspects of nature that prove man's early knowledge of the universe was more highly sophisticated than many believe today. While this commentary emphasizes that we are not told in the Book of Job why humans suffer, there is sufficient evidence to help us understand that God is indeed interested in us.

The Old Testament both tells the story of Israel and points to the coming Messiah. Kaiser distinguishes between Old Testament passages that describe national Israel's glorious future and those that point to Christ and his kingdom. Kaiser's chronological approach traces Israel's developing concept of Messiah through different time periods.

The life and times of this iconic and enduring biblical book The book of Job raises stark questions about the meaning of innocent suffering and the relationship of the human to the divine, yet it is also one of the Bible's most obscure and paradoxical books. Mark Larrimore provides a panoramic history of this remarkable book, traversing centuries and traditions to examine how Job's trials and his challenge to God have been used and understood in diverse contexts, from commentary and liturgy to philosophy and art. Larrimore traces Job's reception by figures such as Gregory the Great, William Blake, and Elie Wiesel, and reveals how Job has come to be viewed as the Bible's answer to the problem of evil and the perennial question of why a God who supposedly loves justice permits bad things to happen to good people.

Written really for the unbeliever or person whose faith is weak, this book is a fresh look at the author’s love of apologetic works, emphasizing the amazing design of the created world. An easily-read book, The God Who is Real reiterates that, quite different from the god of deism, the true God of the universe is also very near to each of us. Dr. Morris’ unique commentary on God’s Word will make a powerful witnessing tool for anyone with a burden for the loss, while serving as a steady guide for the believer.
