THCOT: Job

An expressly theological reading of the biblical book of Job.

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.

In his masterful treatment of the book of Job, Lindsay Wilson has " constructed a bridge between the ancient Hebrew text and the contemporary
reader. . . . His theological reflection is firmly grounded in precise exegesis
and is powerfully relevant to life today. Drawing upon thirty years of
studying, teaching, and preaching Job, Wilson in this volume presents a gift
that surely will be welcomed by scholars, pastors, and the people of God. " - Daniel J. Estes
